Normandy is a region in northern France, roughly corresponding to the historic duchy from which William the Conqueror went to England to seize the throne in 1066. It is divided into two administrative regions, Upper Normandy and Lower Normandy. The region is home to countless orchards and is known (like its neighbour Brittany) for its cider and perry, a type of cider made from pears. Many varieties of cider apples used throughout the world come from this region.
Tourists near the city of Caen can follow an official cider route of 40 kilometers by visiting the cider factories of the Pays d'Auge sub-region. There are several PDOs for cider and perry in the region. In addition, the IGP Cidre de Normandie was formalized in 2000 for cider made from apples, or a mixture of apples and pears, which must be grown in the region. Similarly, perry differs from Generic pear cider in that the drink is made from designated varieties grown in Normandy, rather than from familiar table varieties, imported Juice or Concentrate.
A variety of other apple-related products are produced in the region.

The Canary is rarely found in today's vineyards. Its origins are probably in the Pyrenees, precisely in the Ariège. Its repertoire of alternative appellations is vast. Boudalès from the Cévennes becomes folle noire in Fronton. It is also known as chalosse noire, ugne noire or canaril, and can be recognized by its early buds. The very productive vine shows remarkable vigour. Even the black rot does not get the better of this variety. The shoots are covered with foliage, the most exposed parts of which turn red in the autumn. When the grapes reach maturity, which occurs in the second late season, the Canari displays compact, section-shaped bunches of small to medium size. The fins are sometimes very crowded, gathering berries with characteristic colors. The bluish-black shell protects a very juicy flesh. A rather lightly coloured and ordinary wine emerges from the vinification of this variety.
