The festival has become a must-attend event for lovers of gastronomy and local produce, attracting thousands of visitors every first weekend of May.

Treasures of the Norman terroir to taste

Visitors discover and taste AOP Norman cheeses (Camembert, Pont-l'Évêque, Livarot, Neufchâtel), cider, pommeau, calvados, Isigny cream, and quality meats. A tasting glass is given to each visitor for a 2 EUR deposit.
