Beuvron-en-Auge is particularly packed with gems.

Discover the Côte de Grâce, portion of the Côte Fleurie (Floral Coast) as we drive from Honfleur to Deauville. The name was given in 1903 by Raymond Coustant de Yanville, president of the regional horticultural society, to the flowered countryside lying beyond the coastal hills and to the gardens of the 19th-century seafront villas built during the Belle Époque. With the development of tourism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the French coastline was split into various names to distinguish their varying landscapes. This scenic coast has a number of long sandy beaches separated by low cliffs and river valleys

No visit of the Pays d'Auge would be complete without a proper understanding of its local beverages : the cider and the Calvados! Visit one of the most popular farms and learn how the producers work in respect of the traditions. Calvados is distilled from cider made from specially grown and selected apples, from over 200 named varieties. It is not uncommon for a calvados producer to use over 100 specific varieties of apples. The visit of the distillery and sampling of products is included but we may have to join a small group depending on the day of the visit.
