The experience

The tour starts in Honfleur market on Saturday morning, where your guide leads you through the stalls to taste what Normandy is known for. You'll sample the region's cheeses (Camembert and Pont l'Évêque) alongside cider and calvados, then move to the andouillette from Vire, a local specialty that defines Norman charcuterie. Artisan chocolates made by a master chocolatier, traditional sweets from the Maison Barnier, and Norman ice cream round out the tasting. The guide offers context on each product and the customs of the region as you go.

This is a walking tour through the market itself, so you're moving between vendors and sampling as you go rather than sitting at a table. The two-hour pace is relaxed, built around conversation and the guide's knowledge of the place. An English-speaking guide is guaranteed on every departure, and children from age 12 can join.
