Open - Close in 30 minutes

This 15 ha orchard produces an organic cider stamped with the organic label and the PGI Cidre de Normandie. The apples come from cider varieties producing sweet, bittersweet, and tart fruits. After harvesting, from mid-October to December, the apples are sorted by hand. The natural fermentation lasts 3 months before the blending of the different vintages, then the filtration, the bottling, and the natural bubbling. It's a pity that this family business cannot be visited. But some bottles are available in supermarkets, in Lisieux in particular.

LE LIEU CHÉRI

Cider grower

It's hard to imagine a more typical setting with its half-timbered houses and apple trees, a setting worthy of the most beautiful postcard of the Auge region! It is Jocelyne who welcomes you. For the anecdote, the ceiling of the corridor of the rooms is not very high, but Madam can propose helmets to bicycle for the biggest! The breakfast offers fresh bread, croissants and the numerous home-made jams, as well as the cider confit. During your stay, you can visit and discover the cider estate (preferably by reservation).
