Description:
This 16th/17th century château (an exceptional example of the colombage
architecture of the region) houses the distillery of one of Normandy’s
most prestigious Calvados. Here the ‘apple is the centre of the world’.
The double distillation of cider, which is then aged in specially
selected oak barrels gives this Calvados an AOC Pays d’Auge unique to
the region. Guided visits are compulsory.
Our recommendations: Very much an adult excursion – you might
have to drag your children along kicking and screaming!

Food, Cheese,
Spirits and Cider! Whilst
Normandy has its fair share of great tourist attractions, it is also
loaded with splendid gastronomic delights, being the home to some famous
alcoholic beverages such as Calvados and Cider, in addition to some of
France's most revered cheeses such as Camembert. There are
numerous villages in the Pays d'Auge area that are worth
visiting, as well as an excellent route du cidre.
