Marie Herel invented this famous cheese in 1791.<br\/>The village has its own museum.<br\/>And you can also follow a route to visit farms and enjoy tastings (route du camembert \/ circuit du camembert &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ornetourisme.com\/circuits-touristiques-orne-normandie\/circuit-du-camembert_1146.htm#ad-image-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">info here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">21 &#8211; Livarot<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Livarot is a French cheese from the town of Livarot.<br\/>The town itself is not a tourist destination, but if you enjoy this delicious cheese, you can stop off and visit the Gaindorge cheese factory<a href=\"https:\/\/www.graindorge.fr\/visiter-la-fromagerie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">(info here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">22 &#8211; Pont-l&#8217;\u00c9v\u00eaque<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve already mentioned the charming town of Pont-l&#8217;\u00c9v\u00eaque (#9), but you can also stop here simply because you like cheese.<br\/>This delicious cheese isn&#8217;t as famous as Camembert, but it&#8217;s well worth a taste. I love it.<br\/>It wasn&#8217;t invented there, but production was centralized around the town, and that&#8217;s how it got its name.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">23 &#8211; Calvados<\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R1a-Pont-l-eveque\/i-J38Hpf9\/3\/2f1b098b\/L\/Pont_leveque_normandie-7373-L.jpg\" alt=\"Calvados Experience\" title=\"Calvados Experience\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned above, the Pays d&#8217;Auge is mainly located in the Calvados department.<br\/>And Calvados is the name of a liqueur specific to this region.
