26th Fête du Cidre à l'Ancienne - 2025 Edition
The 26th edition of the Fête du Cidre à l'Ancienne took place on Saturday, November 8th and Sunday, November 9th, 2025 at the Grand Jardin site in Sap-en-Auge.
The Grand Jardin association and its "De la Pomme au Calvados" ecomuseum offered a rich program centered around Norman cider-making traditions. The 18th-century grinder, powered by the Percheron horse Umberto, once again fascinated visitors with its traditional apple grinding demonstrations.
Nearly sixty exhibitors enlivened the artisanal and gourmet market, offering farmhouse ciders, calvados, Norman cheeses, jams, and artisanal creations. Hot cider, teurgoule, and apple fritters delighted visitors on this beautiful autumn day.
