About this tour
Roll through Normandy on a vintage sidecar piloted by locals who know every lane and legend. This 2–3.5 hour jaunt from Deauville takes you through Honfleur's narrow streets, along the Flower Coast cliffs, and into apple-dotted farmland. The centrepiece: a family distillery where you'll taste cider, pommeau and calvados while the owner shares how they've worked the land for generations.
Highlights
- Vintage sidecar with goggles, gloves, and period charm
- Honfleur's harbour-side cobbles and timber-framed houses
- Coastal roads with Norman cliff views
- Private distillery visit and three-spirit tasting
- Rider anecdotes and back-road shortcuts
- Rain gear included for unpredictable weather
What to expect
You'll sit either behind the pilot or in the sidecar basket—both seats are genuine. The ride is open-air and bouncy on gravel; expect wind, engine noise, and the smell of fuel mixed with countryside. Your pilot navigates village lanes, then opens up on coastal stretches where you'll feel the Atlantic push. At the distillery, you'll walk among old apple trees, meet the owners, and sample three regional spirits neat or with cider. The pace is conversational, not rushed.
