Fête du Cidre 🍎 in Vimoutiers

 

Another October weekend 🍁 in Normandie

Another fête du Cidre 🍎

Shannon and her sister, Kathy kindly invited me

To explore apple 🍎 country with her.

And boy did we ever in Vimoutiers, 

A  small village you’ve never heard of

Me neither. 

It’s not even on the map 🗺️ Not that it matters. 

We are in the APPLE 🍎 CAPITOL 

OF THE WORLD 🌎

THE WORLD 🌎 

Le PAYE D’AUGE.

Of course we went to the Écomusée du cidre…(3,50)

We looked at the apple mills and what have you.

Idiotic postcards 🤪

They had red-striped Normande cider cups called bolée

Which I once painted. Traditionally they have no saucers. I took poetic license.

We ate apples we picked up off the ground. They were delish!

I ate a tarte with slices of baked apple 🍎 A classic pastry of the Le Pays d’Auge.

In the town hall a giant Moulin Rouge made of apples 🍎

Plus a tableaux of apple CanCan dancers 💃 

I bought a ‘tressé of rose garlic 🧄 de Lautrec,

We cut whole heads in 1/2, roasted in tin foil and spread on top of roasted squash and carrots 🥕 plus pecans!

Accompanying with local cidre of course.

🍁 A lovely time in Normandie 🍎
