This and Cave de Mirande are two world class farmhouse cider producers, 4.3 level and up with ciders that rival the best wines, Belgian geuze, and American sour ales. Incredible. Pro Tip: you can STAY HERE! It is a bed and breakfast or you can park your camper or just camp in a tent here. House and cider cellar room is beautiful, family run. Staff was hospitable but exceptionally friendly and made exceptions for us to come in after hours. We rang the doorbell and got the royal treatment even though they had been closed for half and hour. They also sell, per usual, Calvados, Pommeau, and other artisanal goodies. Their Pommeau was absolutely incredible. Overall an amazing experience. A MUST on your cider trip through Brittany and Normandy.

If you are looking for a magical and beautiful escape in Normandy, you've found it. The photos…read morereally do not do the property justice. The grounds include ponds, woods, fields, beautiful old buildings, a surprise swingset, and race horses. You read that right--race horses. They breed beautiful horses there. Manoir de Cleronde is a little piece of paradise tucked away on an unassuming country road. The property has only been owned by two families since it was built in the 1600s--which is pretty astounding. The owners are amazing hosts and so gracious. Breakfast in the morning is continental. You can start your Normandy adventure with a hearty breakfast of meats and cheeses, lovely pastries, freshly made crepes, fruit, cereal, eggs and more, and you can sweeten your morning treats with some fresh honey from bees kept right on property. Guests have the rights to explore the grounds, and I highly recommend you spend some time doing so. It's just lovely. Gwenael, the owner of the manoir, speaks terrific English, and he is more than happy to share the history of the property and the area. He will also help you with restaurant recommendations, sightseeing advice, getting a taxi--whatever you need. We were fortunate to stay in the barn which has been converted into a palatial living space complete with an expansive living area (with a giant banquet table), two bedrooms, a bathroom with shower, a kitchen with microwave, refrigerator, and a small stove. The family has done a marvelous job decorating the entire estate and making you feel like royalty. If you want a truly special place to stay to build some lifelong memories--Manoir de Cleronde is it. Le manoir est magnifique.

Nuts & Bolts but a great place to sleep and relax. Walking distance (2 blocks) to all the great restaurants and shops. Bayeux is the PERFECT launch point for everything Normandy. If you're looking to see Omaha Beach and Point Du Hac stay in Bayeux. We booked a private tour through the Caen Memorial. We took the 7:00am train to Caen and met our guide. It was the perfect way to see everything.
