Stage 1 : Le Breuil-en-Auge
Château du Breuil is a historic monument where a unique experience awaits: an exploration of Pays d’Auge Calvados using your 5 senses and an incredible sound and light show.
The kids will love Cerza, one of the finest wildlife parks in France, which is just a stone’s throw away. You can even book a stay in a safari lodge!
Stage 2 : Cormeilles
This is a charming village on the banks of the Calonne whose narrow streets are lined with half-timbered facades that are home to numerous antique and home furnishing shops.
Located in the village centre, Busnel, the largest distillery in Normandy, is open to visitors come to explore the world of apples and Calvados-making.
Stage 3 : Pont-l’Évêque
Located on the premises of the oldest Calvados producer, Père Magloire, Calvados Expérience offers visitors a multi-sensory experience, a journey through the history of Normandy and Calvados-making, with the added bonus of a tasting at the end of the tour.
Just a few kilometres away, in the lush, leafy setting of the Touques valley, you will find Calvados Drouin. Come and take a tour of this estate with typical 17th-century Pays d’Auge architecture that exudes authenticity and craftsmanship. Here you’ll find Calvados vintages, blends and cocktails!
Stage 4 : Deauville
Its wooden promenade, multi-coloured parasols, luxury hotels and casino have made Deauville legendary! After a long walk along the beach, why not treat yourself to a cocktail at the Bar du Normandy?
Along the route, in the small commune of Pennedepie, between Trouville and Honfleur, stop off at the Manoir d’Apreval for a tour and a tasting in exceptional surroundings.
Stage 5 : Honfleur
In a land of estuaries, with its picturesque narrow streets and slate-covered houses (painted many times by artists), its old port lined with restaurants and its Lieutenancy, Honfleur has that extra something that makes it irresistible.
Spend some time strolling down the main street and pop into the Cave Normande or the Compagnie des Calvados. These two wine and spirit stores stock dozens of Calvados from the different Normandy terroirs.
