Gourmet walk

In the footsteps of William the Conqueror

The friends of the chapel of Sainte-Anne propose to honor Normandy by organizing a discovery walk that combines the history of William the Conqueror with local products and historical heritage.
Around the chapel, a true gem of the 11th century fully restored in 2025, visitors will discover the legend of its construction linked to Countess Lescline, William's great-aunt, while tasting typically Norman and English products.

During this walk of about 3km, they will enjoy tasting stops where a historian will discuss the life of William. Norman products such as cider, apple juice, cheeses, tripe, apples, andouille (a type of sausage), or teurgoule (a rice pudding) will be showcased, along with English products such as scones, apple pie, and crumble.

Upon arriving at the chapel, the group will be welcomed by the theatrical company La Lanterne from Falaise, which will offer an animation about the life of Countess Lesceline and William returning from battle in Normandy.

They will also be able to enjoy a local market and Norman cuisine on site. The evening will conclude with a folk and Celtic music concert.
The return to the starting point will be in a horse-drawn carriage or on foot for the more adventurous.
