Chateau du Breuil sign
While we were visiting Le Breuil en Auge we saw a sign for Chateau du Breuil. It is about a mile away The Chateau is very impressive set in a large garden area that you can walk round. It is surrounded by 22 thousand apple trees. There is a car park near the Chateau shop where you can buy their Calvados products.We arrived at 4 pm on a Sunday afternoon at the end of May and although they were open they would not take us round the distillery. So maybe you are better visiting on a weekday. We did however enjoy our walk in the grounds The Chateau du Breuil
