Normandy in October smells of apples and fresh air, misty mornings and crisp afternoons. We visited a number of cider and calvados producers in the local area.
Apples from the orchard ready to be chopped
The process of cider and calvados making is explained to us
The fermentation tanks holding the pressed apple juice
Some ancient oak barrels which are used to store the Calvados during the ageing process
A food festival in Carrouges displays hundreds of varieties of local apples
....and pears
Piles and piles of lovely apples
One of the numerous apple orchards near Le Brewery
