In Grandouet (Calvados), the ancient Yvon Grandval pours us a substantial sample of cider. We were then treated to similar samples of poiré, an unpleasant (to my taste) beverage made in the style of cider, but from pears instead of apples, followed by pommeau, an apéritif made by mixing calvados brandy with fresh apple juice (in the style of the Pineau des Charentes of the Cognac region) and finally a splendid calvados, the famous brandy of Normandy. Too much, since we still had about 20 km to go, but a memorable stop.
