"A family story 🍎🍏🍐. We got a tour of the cider house from a producer passionate about his craft and about Normandy's history ⚔️. Tasting the ciders and calvados is a journey. Organic production, no sulfites (and when you know how apples are sometimes treated…) gives outstanding products: ciders, pommeau, calvados, apple wine, ice wine, perry, honey, apple vinegar. Thanks again, we're taking some back to Lyon to keep enjoying and sharing the pleasure 😋."
