MAN Truck & Bus
Scarcely have you left France’s bustling capital city behind you than you can sit back, relax and allow your gaze to wander across the sweeping countryside. Just two-and-a-half hours of driving gets you to the Pays D’Auge, home of the three big Cs: camembert, calvados and cider. You can’t get more Norman than this: herds of cows fill the fields here, interspersed with apple trees and the occasional tiny village where time seems to have stood still. How about a themed route to introduce you to the region’s culinary highlights? The cheese route is well worth a visit!

Must Drive
A tour of France also means passing through many cosy villages. The tiny village of Beuvron-en-Auge with half-timbered houses from the 17th and 18th centuries is considered one of the most beautiful in France. A perfect place to stop!

Must-See
Honfleur, a fishing village at the mouth of the Seine into the English Channel. Colourful half-timbered houses line the lively harbour and in the narrow streets there’s a lot to discover, such as chocolateries, boutiques and art.

Must-Eat
Normandy is synonymous with Camembert, Calvados and cider, but oysters are also particularly good here, grown on oyster beds along the alabaster coast. Slurp them up, preferably with a view of the sea.
