Description

Experience Normandy Like a Local: A Private Journey in a Tesla Model S
Leave the crowded tour buses behind and discover the soul of Normandy on a bespoke, eco-friendly adventure. Having lived in Rouen for 25 years, I offer more than just a tour; I offer an invitation into the history, secrets, and flavors of my home region. This is a journey designed for those who value comfort, exclusivity, and authentic storytelling.

The Silent Luxury of Tesla
Our day begins with a pickup at your hotel in Paris. You’ll travel in a Tesla Model S, the pinnacle of electric luxury. Experience the French countryside in total silence, allowing us to converse easily or enjoy the scenery through the panoramic roof. With onboard Wi-Fi, bottled water, and a smooth, emission-free ride, the journey is as enjoyable as the destinations.

Rouen: 25 Years of Secrets
Our first stop is the "City of a Hundred Spires." Because I call Rouen home, I will lead you away from the tourist throngs to show you hidden medieval courtyards and timber-framed houses that have stood since the 14th century. We will explore the majestic Rouen Cathedral—Monet’s favorite subject—the Great Clock (Gros-Horloge), and the historic site where Joan of Arc’s legend was forged.

The Majesty of Etretat
By noon, we reach the dramatic Alabaster Coast. We will walk the cliffside paths of Etretat, where the monumental natural arches and the "Needle" rock formation meet the turquoise sea. It is the perfect spot for a coastal lunch—I will share my personal recommendations for the best local seafood spots where the locals actually eat.

The "Liquid Gold": An Exclusive Invitation
One of the day’s highlights is a visit to a private 17th-century family estate. Unlike commercial distilleries, this is a confidential location where you will see the authentic production of Cider and Calvados. We will tour the ancient cellars and enjoy a private tasting of premium spirits, far from the crowds.

Honfleur: The Painter’s Harbor
We conclude our day in Honfleur, the most picturesque port in France. We’ll stroll around the "Vieux Bassin" and visit the unique St. Catherine’s Church, built entirely of wood by shipbuilders. It’s the perfect end to a day filled with art, history, and sea salt.
