specialties of the area

For those with a French appetite, why not spend a day sampling some of Normandy’s tastiest delights. Begin at the town of Camembert to sample its famous cheese, followed by lunch at Port en Bessin (try the oysters), or perhaps you’ll prefer prize winning Coquille Saint Jacques, washed down with a glass of Cider or Calvados (apple brandy) in the village of Gureon.

Pommeau is Normandy's own 'aperitif' and is made from a mix of cider and calvados using time honoured recipes.
