They shared their knowledge, current and historical, which was very much enjoyed. The countryside was very scenic. We were the attraction when we drove through towns. The towns were charming. The beach at Trouville was a treat. The motorbike and sidecar excursion was great fun. We were sorry when it ended. We are so glad we chose to do this.
