APPLE MUSEUM

To know everything about this round and fleshy fruit, one of the emblems of Normandy, the apple museum is a must in the region. In a former thatched presbytery dating from 1710, the exhibition covers several topics such as the genetic heritage of the fruit, the grafting of the apple tree, the importance of bees for the fertilization of the tree, and of course the pressing, distillation and manufacture of cider. We learn, for example, that at the end of the 19th century, the Normans consumed more than 3 liters of calvados per person per year!
