Transfer by motorcoach to Deauville — a famous seaside resort town known for its boardwalk promenade, which runs the length of the beach. The Planches, as it is called, is lined with elegant buildings, including the Pompeian Baths and the Soleil Bar, where celebrities are often seen.
Upon arrival in Deauville, enjoy an orientation tour that acquaints you with this delightful town. Free time follows for you to explore on your own.
Reboard your coach for a scenic drive through villages and past bocages — small fields delineated by hedges and trees creating a pastoral setting.
A warm welcome awaits you at the charming House of Drouin Distillery, housed in a set of 17th-century Norman houses. Founded in the 1960s and supported by a well-known, established distiller from the northern part of Pays d'Auge, what was once a modest cider-apple farm has morphed into the award-winning, third-generation, family-owned business it is today. See the apple press and the distillery with its bright copper stills, and the castle's cellar where the renowned Calvados brandy ages in oak casks. Sample Calvados in the tasting room to get acquainted with this outstanding brandy.
Reboard the coach for the return drive to Rouen.
Please note: In the unlikely event that Drouin Distillery is unavailable, an alternative venue will be substituted. Tour requires walking and standing. Minimum age to drink alcohol is 18 years, with a companion aged 21 years or older.
