Clécy

Culinary specialities of Clécy

The capital of the Suisse Normande boasts a rich terroir that delights restaurateurs. For example, their menu includes the famous andouille de vire, a charcuterie dating back to the Middle Ages. The other emblematic food of Calvados and more generally of Normandy is the apple. It is used in the preparation of many tasty dishes such as escalope de la Vallée d'Auge, chicken with apples and bourdelot. You'll also be in heaven on holiday if you're a fan of camembert. The chefs at the finest restaurants use it in generous recipes such as camembert croquettes and puff pastry. Clécyens also enjoy classic French dishes. If the culinary specialities we have presented don't satisfy you, you can always delight your taste buds with a succulent fillet of sea bass in olive oil on a vegetable tian or enjoy the aromas of homemade salmon rillettes with their tomato basil sorbet.

Activities in Clécy

Some destinations offer leisure activities that are only aimed at a particular audience. This is not the case with Clécy, as this green resort is suitable for families, couples and groups of friends alike. A visit to the Miniature Railway is a highly entertaining experience, whatever your age. You'll be immersed in the infinitely small, as you contemplate towns and railway networks represented on a reduced scale. If your holiday isn't all about lazing around, you can try your hand at a number of sporting activities! The Via Ferrata in Clécy is a great way to discover some spectacular scenery, and the 50-metre footbridge at the end of the route will be a real challenge if you've never tried this sport, which is halfway between climbing and hiking. You won't experience the same thrills as a beginner on the golf course, but you'll still enjoy an exceptional environment. Clécy's 18-hole course is a great opportunity for beginners interested in the sport. The commune also attracts tourists with its waterways, including the Orne, a favourite with kayakers! Suisse Normande and its picture-postcard landscapes have inspired artists such as Charles Léandre and André Lemaître. A museum also pays tribute to André Hardy, where you can admire several works by this impressionist painter born in Flers.

Its memorial and Ladies' Abbey may catch your eye, as will its Fine Arts museum.
