I’m just sticking this up here as an aide-mémoire from our trip to Normany three years ago. Stumbling across one of the many cider makers, I got to chatting with the son of the owner and asked him what varieties of apple they used. I lost my scribblings, but found them at the bottom of a bag, so here they are in case I lose them once more!

• Douce Moën
• Rouge Duret
• Tête de Brebis
• Douce Coët-ligne

There is one more, but I can’t make the writing out. It looks something like Marie-besrord/besrard but I cant’ find any information on the internet about anything sounding similar.
