NORMANDY
TRIP NO LONGER AVAILABLE
May 05 - 12 | 2025
It’s France…but Frenchier!
You wake up in a 19th century farmhouse and make your way to hot coffee and pastries with perfectly framed views of the inspiring garden. After a day of adventure, you and your new best friends sit around the living room hearth with a cold glass of Muscadet in one hand, and a gooey piece of Camembert in the other. You joke and reminisce about this morning when Dan told the 85-year-old market vendor “gracias” with all his gratitude. Iza puts the finishing touches on this evening’s table scape while Peter serenades on the 130-year-old Gabriel Gavreau piano.
That paint a picture for you?
The Travel Project presents its first ever curated, boutique, through-the-eyes-of-the-locals adventure to one of the most criminally overlooked French destinations. Normandy doesn’t have the storied prestige of Burgundy or the Mediterranean flair of Provence, but what it lacks in notoriety it more than makes up for in hidden coastal gems, incredible local food, and a rich cultural undercurrent that’s guaranteed to sweep you away in its tow. You know, French shit.
We’ve prepared 7 days and 7 nights exploring all nooks and each cranny of this beautiful land to provide an altogether unique experience for our fellow travelers. Hop on because this train doesn’t stop until it gets to flaveur town.
A Home by the River Seine
For an entire week we’ll be calling Riverside House our home. Far removed from the beaten path and resting against the most famous French river, this sleepy little hamlet combines authentic old world charm with cozy modern comforts. The time we spend here will be filled with late night pool parties, family style dinners, and more than a few belly laughs. Riverside House is both home and escape.
Normandy, you say?
From crumbling castles to Calvados, this hidden gem of a region has it all. This week you will experience a quintessential slice of life in the heart of the Norman countryside.
Lots to do. All the time to do it.
You’ll interact with local artisans, slurp down fresh shellfish in sea-side coves, and take deep breaths of riverside air. We invite you to leave behind the hustle-and-bustle of the major cities and embrace broken cobblestone roads, and green rolling hills peppered with blazing pink apple orchards, spotted dairy cows, and half-timbered farmsteads.
