Have been to the museum several years ago, loads of fascinating stuff in there -especially the huge underground horizontal waterwheel/turbine. Managed to Miss the Austin tractor though.
The neighboring farmers to a friend of ours who lives Near Chatillon Sur Colmont don't seem to have heard that DIY distillation has passed into history
. I'm sure that I could run my car on their Calvados - I don't have any memory of the evening following on from their hospitality.

Only certain individuals had a licence which has over the past 20 years or so passed into history.
