What to expect
Your guide will steer you through significant World War II locations while sharing the human stories that shaped them—not just dates and monuments. Between sites, you'll pull into working farms, dairies, cider houses or small producers where owners talk you through their craft. You'll taste as you go: regional cheeses, cider, calvados, perhaps charcuterie. Lunch is unhurried and your choice entirely. The day moves at your pace; if a conversation sparks or a place captures you, time stretches to let it breathe.
Good to know
