Spend a leisurely morning at the Grand-Andely weekly market selecting Normandy cheeses, cider, and artisan produce with a local food guide, then sit down to a private table d'hôte lunch at a recommended Norman farmhouse restaurant just outside town.
What to expect
Your guide meets you at the market stalls, where local producers lay out Livarot, Neufchâtel, and aged Camembert alongside fresh vegetables and artisan charcuterie. After a guided tasting and shopping session, a short drive delivers you to a characterful farmhouse dining room for a three-course lunch paired with Norman cider and a glass of Calvados to finish. Conversation flows in English and French; this is an afternoon for slow pleasure. Return transfer to the quay is included.
Good to know
Grand-Andely market day is Saturday; verify your ship's call date aligns. Lunch typically runs 12:00–14:30; confirm all-aboard time carefully before booking. Dietary requirements (vegetarian, gluten-free) can be accommodated with 48 hours' notice. Book at least one week in advance.
