This tour was perfect for our family. We wanted to go to Normandy but were not confident figuring out all of the trains to/from Paris so finding one that left from Paris was just what we needed. The weather was touch and go leading up to our scheduled tour date but Josef was in constant communication with us on what to maybe expect, if some things might be closed, what possible back up plans could be... thankfully we said lets just do and we are so glad we did! Josef was great, super knowledgeable and informative. It ended up being such a perfect day!

Clemence came to pick us up with my boyfriend in the morning with warm croissant and drove us to Normandy, no hustle and well organised. She was very knowledgeable about Rouen and the history of Normandy. The food and cider pairing was very intersting, as it is so diferent from what we can find in the UK. Finally the typical normand village where she took us was definitely off the charts and out of the touristic sighseen circuits, very authentic and lovely. I definitely recommend Clemence for a well organised and local tour.

I expected to enjoy our Normandy tour, but had no idea just how blown away we would be. The experience was beyond anything I can put in words, just a must see, once in a lifetime experience. Of course, Juliens knowledge, and pleasant demeanor just added to it. We did it in one day from Paris. A long day, but definitely doable. I highly recommend this tour!

10/10! Definitely recommend doing the virtual tasting tour with Tom, who did a wonderful job creating an immersive experience online. He is highly knowledgable and passionate when it comes to all things champagne and not to mention, he's easy on the eyes. Can't wait to do a tour with A la Francaise again in the future :)
