Culinary specialities in Clécy

Small munchies or wolfish appetites: your expectations will always be met when it comes to gastronomy in Clécy! The town, nicknamed the capital of the Normandy region, will delight you even more if you're a fan of dairy products. You won't be able to resist the soft cheese and bloomy rind of Camembert, and you're sure to love Livarot, one of the 4 A.O.C. cheeses from this region of character. Milk jam is a culinary speciality that can also delight your taste buds at snack time. It has a distinctive caramel colour and a creamy, thick consistency. Calvadosians with a sweet tooth often pair it with crêpes or an appetising brioche. It's impossible to talk about Clécy's cuisine without highlighting two delicious fruit specialities. These are the douillon and the bourdelot, which have a reputation far beyond the Suisse Normande region. Bourdelot is a favourite with Norman children at the end of a meal, as they love this apple filled with sugar and drizzled with cider. It is the region's emblematic drink, with over 400 varieties of cider apple. It is served with dishes and features on the menus of restaurants in Clécy and the surrounding area. But it is also used in a wide variety of recipes: shellfish, seafood, fish, etc.

Clécy: its monuments and activities to discover

Clécy is first and foremost a paradise for climbing enthusiasts. The cliff at Les Rochers du Parc is popular with beginners and experienced climbers alike. Another activity that forces you to take to the heights is the Via-Ferrata. Its course of beams, footbridges and a mythical bridge promises unique sensations. But it's not a race! Enjoy the breathtaking views along the way. If you're accompanied by your children, it would be a mistake to miss out on the summer sledging route. You don't need to be a resident of the Alps to enjoy the fun of tobogganing down the slopes. Monorail tobogganing in a wooded setting is an experience that couldn't be more entertaining! Other popular leisure activities in Suisse Normande include canoeing and kayaking on the River Orne, supervised by experienced instructors. When you stay in Clécy, you can also marvel at its historic heritage. The Viaduct and the little 15th-century church of Saint Pierre are among the buildings that always arouse the curiosity of tourists. But if there was just one place to explore with your family during your stay, it would be the Miniature Railway Museum.
