	Calvados - LoveToKnow 1911
		CALVADOS, a department of north-western France, formed in 1790 out of Bessin, Cinglais, Hiemois, Bocage, the Campagne de Caen, Auge and the western part of Lieuvin.
		The orchards of Auge and Bessin produce a superior kind of cider, of which upwards of 40,000,000 gallons are made in the department; a large quantity of cider brandy (eau-de-vie de Calvados) is distilled.
		Amongst the great number of medieval churches which the department possesses, the fine Gothic church of St. Pierresur-Dives is second in importance only to those of Lisieux and Bayeux; that of Norrey, a good example of the Norman-Gothic style, and that of Tour-en-Bessin, in which Romanesque and Gothic architecture are mingled, are of great interest.
