From someone who loves Old Cars, taking the tour in a such a beloved, essential and stereotypical French classic car really sets the mood and state of mind when visiting the many historical Normandy sites. Bernard also has an excellent grasp of the local history which makes the tour so exciting. Thank you Bernard, I would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to do something different, off the beaten path and for a good price.

***DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE*** TERRIBLE customer service. Have contacted them before the Covid pandemic asking for a refund. Did not receive it. Then Covid hit - asked MANY times via email for a refund. This trip was for 4 adults - for a cost of 476Euros. There have been so many emails - and they keep saying that a refund is in the works. First they said immediately, then they said 6 months. I cannot recommend this tour operator due to this blatant disrespect of their customers. I need these funds back. I was out of work for more than 8 months - and this is really unacceptable.
