Cider, calvados andpommeau
Ramble round the Cider Route and enter one of the many distilleries that unveil the secrets of producing these famous and delicious beverages.
The Pays d'Auge, the other land of cheeses: camembert, pont l'évêque and livarot are all produced at the Graindorge cheese dairy in Livarot, using non-pasteurised milk, of course, to guarantee the AOC label.
Beuvron-en Auge
Indulge yourself in the gentle way of life as you visit the picturesque villages of Beuvron-en Auge (one of France's most beautiful villages), Beaumont-en-Auge and Blangy-le-Château. Their colourful half-timbered facades are so typical of Normandy.
Far from the hustle and bustle, thoroughbred horses are born and bred in the many stud farms throughout the Pays d'Auge. During the Equi'Days horse festival, you can visit a stud farm or enjoy a tour of what goes on behind the scenes in one of the many racecourses in Calvados, in the company of our local horse-lovers.
Pont l'Évêque
To take full advantage of this enchanting region, opt for the lively town of Pont l'Évêque, the ideal base for discovering its many charms. And if you'd rather be at the heart of where it's happening, head for Lisieux, the Pays d'Auge's principal town.
