Fête du Cidre et de la Pomme de Beuvron-en-Auge

Over 50 years of cider tradition

Since 1972, the Fête du Cidre et de la Pomme in Beuvron-en-Auge has celebrated the end of apple harvests in the enchanting setting of one of France's Most Beautiful Villages. This autumn event brings together thousands of visitors each year in the half-timbered streets of this typical village in the Pays d'Auge, at the heart of the Route du Cidre.

Apple pressing and local market

The highlight of the festival is the traditional pressing of apples from the communal orchard on Place Michel Vermughen, using a large press. Visitors leave with fresh apple juice, and children can learn about pressing with a small, adapted press. Around forty exhibitors offer a local market with regional products: cider, vegetables, dairy products, fruits, juices, oysters, tea plants, and flowers, all from the Pays d'Auge.

Entertainment and conviviality

The day is punctuated by floral art workshops, giant wooden games, pony rides offered by the Picotains equestrian center, and musical entertainment with an orchestra in the village square. Visitors can enjoy meals at the crêperie and pizzeria set up for the occasion, with picnic tables available.
