le calvados - historique

Normandy is reputed for its lush, green landscapes and for its numerous apple trees. But nobody really knows why there is so many apple trees in Normandy ...


Bernardin de Saint Pierre
explains the mythological origin of the apple tree :

The Gauls say that the beautiful Thetis (who they name Friga) became very jealous as, when she got married, Venus (who they call Siofne) won the apple which was the supreme beauty award without even being put in competition with the three goddesses.
Thetis decided then to get her revenge.

One day, when Venus was walking on the Gallic coast and was looking for pearls and for shellfishes named handled-knife, for her son Sifionne, a Triton stole her apple which was on a rock and brought the apple to the goddess of the sea.

Thesis sowed the pips in the surroundings in order to perpetrate the memory of her revenge and her triumph.
This is how the Gauls explain the numerous quantity of apple trees growing on Norman soil and the singular beauty of the Norman girls.
