about program
We invite you on an incredibly beautiful journey through Normandy, a region that inspired the great impressionists of the 20th century. However, we will add a palette of flavors to the palette of colors! Just imagine: delicious cheeses, great wine, fragrant calvados...
We will see for the picturesque landscapes of the English Channel coast, colorful gardens and futuristic installations, medieval abbeys and ancient churches. We will visit the places of Impressionist inspiration, including the garden and the house of Claude Monet. Fast forward to that era and feel the inspiration that prompted him to write the famous “Water Lilies”. Let's indulge in French gastronomy in the prestigious resorts of Deauville and Cancale. The latter was included in the UNESCO list due to its oyster farm.
The final chord of the tour is an introduction to the "eighth wonder of the world" - the fortress island of Mont Saint Michel.
Join our journey filled with aesthetics, hedonism and inspiration!

PROGRAM BY DAY
We have already arranged everything, discover what awaits you
- We'll meet in Paris for brunch, meet each other and discuss the program over a welcome glass of wine.
- We are going to Giverny, the Claude Monet's house and a favorite place of the impressionists. We will start our walk at the church where the Monet family crypt is located, walk through the village and find out how one of the founders of impressionism lived and worked.
- A garden with water lilies and a Japanese bridge, which inspired the artist to create many of his famous paintings, is open to guests.
- We will take a moment to relax in a small restaurant, which is famous for the fact that Cezanne, Renoir, Sisley and Rodin once drank coffee at its tables. And earlier, when there was a hotel in its place, only artists stayed here. Even some of the works that the guests used to pay for their stay have been preserved.
- We finish our day in Etretat, where we will have dinner at a restaurant with beautiful views of the bay and spend the night.
- We will devote the first half of the day to the Etretat landscapes:
- Admire the chalk cliffs and find the best point for a photo. We will take a walk through the famous gardens, a neo-futurist sculpture complex. The most famous installation here is huge rubber heads dozing on green cushions.
- An experienced artist will conduct an open-air master class in the best traditions of impressionism especially for us.
- We'll stop for lunch at a seafood restaurant overlooking the English Channel.
- Our next destination is the Benedictine Palace. An impressive 19th century castle, where, according to legend, the world-famous Benedictine liqueur was invented. We will definitely taste the liqueur and learn more about it.
- After that we will go to Honfleur, the cradle of impressionism.
- We'll leave our things at the hotel and stroll through the old town with its picturesque streets, 17th-century salt warehouses, the old Enclo quarter, as well as St. Catherine's embankment and the 16th-century wooden church.
- After breakfast, we continue our journey along the coast of Normandy to Trouville.
- On our way there will be a fishing bay where you can taste the freshest oysters.
- We'll set off to a sailboat trip, like characters from impressionist paintings, and enjoy the view of the ancient port from the water.
- We will have a delicious lunch with a tasting of calvados in the best pancake house in the region - an authentic place loved by the locals.
- Next, a guided tour of the prestigious Deauville resort and Villa Strasburger, owned by the Gustave Flaubert family.
- We'll walk along the beach where the American Film festival takes place, find the first Chanel boutique, take a look into the city's luxurious past and go to the bar favored by Hollywood stars for an aperitif.
- Return to Honfleur.
- Check out from the hotel after a delicious breakfast, departure to Bayeux.
- Private tour of the Tapestry Museum: an inspection of ancient tapestries and masters' workshops.
- We will see the famous “Bayeux tapestry”, which is more often called the “tapestry of Princess Mathilde”. This huge canvas, almost 70 meters long, that was woven in 1070 and celebrates the story of William the Conqueror.
- Lunch in a cozy town on the coast.
- In the late afternoon, at sunset, we will arrive at the island of Mont Saint Michel Abbey. At this time, everything around you becomes like a fairy tale and seems unreal.
- Let's take a walk through the evening city and enjoy the magical atmosphere.
- After breakfast, we will have a private tour of the unique fortress island of Mont Saint Michel. UNESCO has listed Mont Saint-Michel as a World Heritage Site, and guidebooks proudly refer to it as the "eighth wonder of the world."
- After lunch, we will go to the royal pirate's residence, which is one of the top 10 best malouigneres in the region. You will be able to admire the French garden, as well as the interior of malouignere with its antique furniture and collections of corsair weapons.
- The special feature of the visit is that you can touch the unique and collectible items of the XVIII - XIX century, starting from a ladies' pistol and ending with the cane of the corsair captain made of shark vertebrae.
- Arrival in Nantes in the evening.
- The program ends, but we're not saying goodbye, because there are new adventures ahead of us!
