We bring you new experiences and impressions

ABOUT PROGRAM
Normandy awaits—a region where Impressionism was born, and where early 20th-century artists quite literally relearned how to see light, color, and movement. Claude Monet, Eugène Boudin, and others painted here with intensity, working at the height of inspiration. We’ll explore why this very place gave rise to a new way of seeing in art.
Alongside the visual palette comes a gastronomic one: French cheeses, oysters, wine, and Calvados—flavors that reflect the spirit of the region.
This journey is for those who value art, context, taste, and atmosphere.
Normandy reveals itself not as a tourist route, but as a true source of inspiration.

Day-by-day tour program
We’ve taken care of everything—here’s what awaits you
- Our journey begins in Paris, where we meet, get acquainted, and go over the program before setting off for Rouen—a city of Gothic cathedrals and medieval streets.
- Here, we’ll walk in the footsteps of Joan of Arc—a heroine and martyr whose story remains one of the most powerful symbols of France. We’ll see the Joan of Arc Tower, where the Maid of Orléans was tried, and admire the Gothic facades of Rouen Cathedral and the Abbey of Saint-Ouen.
- We’ll end the day on the shores of the English Channel in Étretat, renowned for its striking white cliffs and landscapes that inspired the Impressionists. Here, we’ll enjoy dinner and spend the night.
- Our day begins with a private plein air masterclass in the spirit of Impressionism, led exclusively for us by a professional artist.
- After painting in the open air, we’ll enjoy a delicious lunch.
- We then head to explore the famous Gardens of Étretat—one of the most distinctive and imaginative parks in Normandy. This neo-futuristic sculpture garden blends art seamlessly into the landscape, where unexpected forms emerge among the greenery. Giant rubber heads rest on soft green “pillows”—strange, captivating, and incredibly photogenic. It’s a place to slow down, notice the details, and allow yourself to be surprised.
- To end the day, we’ll visit the Palais Bénédictine, an impressive 19th-century palace where, according to legend, the famous Benedictine liqueur was created. A guided tour and tasting await us.
- In the evening, we return to the hotel and share our impressions over dinner.
- In the morning, we head to Honfleur—a charming historic town with picturesque streets, old quarters, and 17th-century salt warehouses.
- We continue along the Normandy coast to Trouville-sur-Mer, where we’ll visit the fishing harbor and the renowned seafood market. Here, we’ll enjoy a tasting of the freshest oysters, followed by a delightful lunch.
- After lunch, we’ll visit a local Calvados producer in one of the region’s most beloved crêperies—an authentic spot cherished by the French. Here, we’ll taste the iconic drink made famous in the novels of Erich Maria Remarque.
- We then continue to Deauville for a guided tour of this elegant seaside resort. We’ll stroll along the beach known for the American Film Festival, find the first Chanel boutique, glimpse the town’s glamorous past, and enjoy an aperitif at a bar loved by Hollywood stars.
- In the evening, we check into our hotel, followed by dinner and time to unwind.
- In the morning, we travel to Mont-Saint-Michel, where a guided tour awaits on this extraordinary island fortress. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s often called the “eighth wonder of the world.”
- We’ll enjoy lunch at a cozy local café.
- Afterward, we continue to Saint-Malo—the city of corsairs and maritime legends. Here, we’ll take a fascinating walk through the old town, with its fortified walls, ocean views, and stories of seafaring adventures, followed by free time for personal exploration.
- By evening, we check into our hotel and enjoy a delicious dinner—a calm and elegant close to a day filled with sea views and a sense of freedom.
- After breakfast, we visit the residence of a royal corsair—one of the top ten finest malouinières in the region. You’ll admire the classic French garden and the interiors, featuring antique furniture and collections of corsair weaponry.
- What makes this visit truly special is the rare opportunity to interact with unique collector’s pieces from the 18th–19th centuries—from a lady’s pistol to a corsair captain’s cane made from shark vertebrae.
- Arrival in Nantes by evening marks the end of the program. We say goodbye—but not for long, as many new adventures await us ahead.
