Exploring the Calvados Region in Normandy France 🍎 Cider Route, Caen & Medieval Castles 🏰

We spent the day exploring Calvados, one of Normandy’s most underrated regions. We talk about the famous cider route and visit a local cider farm for a tasting. We also explore a medieval castle and spend the day in Caen. This itinerary is perfect if you want to see a different side of Normandy beyond the D-Day beaches.
