Cider, Calvados and well-kept secrets
Are you wondering how cider or Calvados is made? (in moderation, of course!)
Follow the guide... or rather, follow the producers into their orchards, where the apples are getting a golden brown (even in the Normandy rain, they stay in good shape) before ending up in your glass.
From harvest to fermentation, from the press to the still, the artisans reveal their know-how and some of their manufacturing secrets – except perhaps that of the famous angel's share, this portion of alcohol which evaporates during aging… and which almost makes you believe in a miracle.
A golden opportunity to stroll among the apple trees, smell the sweet aromas of freshly squeezed juice, and understand why here, a simple apple becomes a work of liquid art.

Cheeses with character, terroir of passion
And for cheese lovers (we know you), watch your taste buds! Camembert, Pont-l'Évêque, Livarot… these names already make you tingle with pleasure. But tasting them on site, after seeing how they're made? That's another story.
Step through the doors of our partner cheese shops and discover what goes on behind the scenes of these lovingly matured treasures: the still-warm milk, the curdling, the molding, the ripening... A whole art, passed down from generation to generation, which gives each cheese its own personality.
As a bonus: tastings that might just convince you to become a Norman by adoption, just for the cheese.

Visits to experience (and book!)
You want to taste, to smell, to understand, to ask a thousand questions like “What kind of apples are there?","How long does it age?","And this nutty taste, where does it come from?"?
That's perfect. Our producers love sharing their passion and expertise.
Some of our partners are even accessible via our online ticketing system. One click, and presto! A tour is booked. Easier than spreading Camembert on a slice of toast (and that's saying something).
So, fellow foodies, put on your boots (or sneakers, we don't judge), open your nostrils and your hearts, and set off to discover these local treasures. Between delicious countryside and warm encounters, the whole soul of Normandy invites itself to your table.
