Manoir de Durcet

In 1930, the Breton family settled in Durcet in the heart of the Orne bocage. As soon as he arrived, Eugène Breton devoted himself to the cider and dairy business.
Marcel took over from his father in 1956 alongside his wife Odette. Together, they passionately developed Cider and also devoted themselves to the production of Calvados. Ahead of ... their time, they kept up with new technologies and increased the number of livestock, the farm's agricultural area and launched the marketing of their products.
In 1976, Eugène's grandson, Pascal, who had just reached the age of majority, took over the business and continued the family tradition. Since 1990, he has been producing an exceptional pommeau born from the marriage of Cider and Calvados. Over the years, Pascal has integrated mechanisation into his activity. In the past, the family used to harvest apples by hand, but today mechanised harvesting has become common practice. Together with his wife Jocelyne, they develop their range of products and share their passion during visits and tastings at the farm. They have been able to pass on the value of their work to their son Etienne who joined the farm in December 2010. see more
