La Caule Sainte-Beuve: Cider, organic beer and Forêt d’Eu

La Caule Sainte-Beuve brings together several reasons to plan a trip: insights into cider and beer production, walks in the Forêt d’Eu and local heritage. If you are looking for accommodation, you can consider which of these themes you would like to focus on during your stay. Local producers offer different visitor experiences, while the forest and historic buildings provide other ways to spend your time in the area.

Cider, organic beer and local products

Brasserie Sainte Beuve makes organic beers and sells them through short supply chains. Sales and guided tours are available by appointment. If you are planning a visit, arrange the appointment in advance. The product range may change, so you should not count on any particular variety being available.

Guided tours at Cidrerie du Petit Clos explain the different stages of cider production. The cidery produces and sells cider as well as cider vinegar. The two producers therefore have different focuses: Brasserie Sainte Beuve specializes in organic beers, while the cidery focuses on cider production and the additional product, cider vinegar. If you would like to take the tour, check the appointment arrangements before your trip.

The grocery shop at Bar de la Maison du Caule offers meat, cheese, vegetables, fruit, everyday essentials and a range of local products. This complements the producer visits with a wider selection of food. Stock and opening arrangements may change, so check them if you are planning to shop there.

Walks in the Forêt d’Eu

Le Caule-Sainte-Beuve is on the edge of the Forêt d’Eu, an area suited to walking. The forest offers a different focus from visits to the producers: instead of a tour about production, you can spend your time walking through the woodland landscape.

One specific hiking option is the circular trail “Aux Sources de l’Eaulne,” which leads to the chapel in Les Ventes Mésangères. The route therefore has a named destination; the Forêt d’Eu’s general suitability for walks reflects the area’s broader natural appeal. Check the current trail markings before setting out.

Churches and local heritage

The history of the buildings can also be traced through several local landmarks. The Church of Saint-Jean du Caule dates from the 17th and 19th centuries. The Church of Saint-Éloi dates from the 16th and 17th centuries. While two centuries are cited for Saint-Jean, the records for Saint-Éloi go back to the 16th century. The Chapelle Saint-Barthélémy is also part of the local heritage.

These places offer different perspectives: the two churches invite comparison between their respective time periods, while the Chapelle Saint-Barthélémy adds another element of local heritage. Together with producer visits and walking opportunities, they offer a range of themes for your stay. As you plan, you can focus on whichever best matches your interests and arrange appointments for guided tours in advance.
