Visiting a Distillery in Calvados (Normandy) | Sasha Grey

[@sashagrey]

Hi! What was your favorite moment?

[@eagleeye2163]

At the very beginning of the video, you said about watching a film and then after that, gonna do a tour. I swear, I thought you said. Then I'm gonna go TWERK... LMAO. I had to replay it twice. I was like😮. Lol ✌🏽😎

[@gosha7252]

It would be interesting to see your reaction to the production of absinthe, I think you will like it)

[@adoman-otg]

The slurping sounds every time you took a sip was chef's kiss editing.

[@j.goggels9115]

Do you have cider in America? I'm not sure you do. I remember Taylor Swift going on Alan Carr's, a popular British TV show and she never had cider before. It's a very popular drink in Normandy, Brittany and England. Fermented Apple Juice. My grand-dad (in Cherbourg) made his own cider. He had a small orchard and a wooden tool to press the sour apples. Distylled cider gives you Calvados, apple liquor. From a vlog perspective, I highly recommend you take a ferry to Pompey. Normandy is ok but there is a lot more to experience across the channel and you won't be bothered by the language barrier. From Portsmouth, it's easy to get to London. And you know, pubs and stuff. Fish and Chips. England is way more lively than Brittany and Normandy because Great Britain has the same population as France on a territory that is half smaller. Drive to Caen-Ouistreham, board on the night ferry at 10pm and sleep on the boat. At 6am you'll be at Portsmouth. No car, it will be cheap. Book a cabin though.

[@sheldrake6]

The tasting table where saw all the various products of Normandy.

[@Muscu666]

I really like the fact that you show France outside of Paris. Also, being French myself, I'm really impressed by how well Jean speaks English.

[@sashagrey]

Thanks! He was a great host and the product is genuinely great as well 😊

Very polite and knowledgeable owner especially for an audience of 1 , he dispels the myth of rude snobby French, all the products looked fantastic and the brandy is available in the states and its fairly priced considering its lengthy process, great video Sasha, ny

[@sashagrey]

Exactly!

[@jeromevilleray3386]

I'm french from France and i'm not sure if i can put myself as a judge of my people but in reality : French people, are not snobby , but some parisians (french people in Paris) are real snob yes , then maybe from some localities like Bordeaux and near wines production properties village , some town and cities from french riviera , skiing stations like Meribel or Courchevel and Deauville/Le Touquet are very snob cities All rest of provincial frenchs are not snobbies ! But the real failing of french people : We are complainers ! Parisians french are the real problem with this myth and the terrible "kindness" of cafe waiters in Paris don't help with this "cliché" And sorry for my crap english ... Not maternal language for me, i have learning english just by playing online game (and school but at school i was a dunce ...)

@@jeromevilleray3386 Dude, your English is about 99.9% better than most peoples French in here 😉 Tres bien !

[@yohoyoho13]

Jean's cool enthusiasm makes me want to buy his products. You can tell, he loves what he does, he's proud of his products, but there is no hype.

[@terenzo50]

Charming fellow and a lovely tour.

[@REDZ28won]

That guy explained very well. Great Video Sasha!

[@GoGetYourShinebox]

Gotta love his passion for it

[@ShmuPixel]

Jean is the kind of guy making me proud to be from Normandy... Someone speaking English comes visiting, he speaks perfect English too and explains everything clearly. People from abroad, just remember that clichés are just that: clichés! It's not meant to be true, it's only meant to make you love your country more than others so you won't even try to travel and see for yourself. I won't say people in France are able to speak proper English, for the most part that is still an issue, but you'll find people like Jean who understood this is good for business. Thanks for visiting my lovely Normandy Sasha, there is way more to learn from this region but I'd probably be the worst guide, so I'll just trust your judgement on where to go and what to do next.

[@etiennebrun8760]

Very welcoming Jean ! We can feel how passionate he is !

[@allisonmeows__]

Jean is a lovely host and explains everything so well!

[@mattsnow9273]

This is the BEST video about a calvados distillery in Normandy EVER on KZbin! My favorite part is "challenges make everything better". And Meow's editing, of course. Best Supporting Actor nom to Uncle's pea coat. One autumn way back, I worked at an apple orchard giving tours to school kids, etc. The end of each tour was walking the kids thru making apple cider with an old-fashioned, hand crank cider press. If the kids had been well-behaved, they each got one cup of the fresh apple cider they had just made. If they had been awful brats, they could have ALL OF THE APPLE CIDER they wanted before their long bus ride home. 😈

[@boxymetalworks]

I think this is one of my favorite travel videos so far. I liked the guided tour feeling. Seeing the whole production process was cool.

[@ericvanvlandren8987]

Super interesting. The gentleman did a phenomenal job of explaining without over explaining. Very personable.

[@wasabi4u724]

Jean's passion and love of his products really shows through. Wonderful video.

[@JeremyBowkett]

That was delightful, informative and just all around fun! Très cool!

[@badger1296]

Sasha, I think that you are an awesome person and I am proud of you. I must say that I like videos of you living your best life more than live streams. 👍

[@sheldrake6]

Thank you for bringing these fabulous products of Normandy to a wider audience. Your channel is a delight.

[@sashagrey]

Thank you for watching 😊

[@sad99q]

Great job, Sasha and Meows. One of your best streams from France!

[@thegrimyeaper]

Imagine working all day then Sasha Grey shows up and wants a tour. 😍

[@itsmebatman]

It is quite fascinating to see how thought out this whole process is. They make drinks that are meant to be sold 6-20 years later and they need to make sure it taste like they want it to or their reputation is destroyed. The French are really good at this.

[@guiguijol]

Thank you for appreciating our culture. What you said Works for wine, cheese, pastries and nearly any traditional meal you can think about. Better die than being rubbish and lame about the pleasures of the tongue.

[@yannrousseau5437]

When a professional talks to us about his profession with passion, he passes it on to us. Sheers up Jean 👍

[@christophercurtis-71]

Beautiful place. As a Veteran, I would love to go to Normandy someday to see the beaches where so many gave so much in June 1944. I have heard of Calvados in books I have read. It was very popular with the G.I.'s pushing in from the beaches. Fascinating video. I may not drink anymore, but I love seeing how stuff gets made.

[@sonofwar6206]

Calvados is unpopular in France because have alcool more good of This, Calvados is use for made Cocktail or use for cook Majority of Calvados production is made for american or chinese.

[@sashagrey]

@@sonofwar6206this has nothing to do with the poster’s original comment. Unnecessary and ignorant hate. And it proves you didn’t watch the video. He talks about elevating the reputation of calvados and they’re doing just that, as well as producing amazing ciders and non alcoholic beverages and apple products.

[@sonofwar6206]

@@sashagrey Wow, you overreact x) i dont have hate in my comment, just say the reality of Consumation of strong Alcool in France, so if you just in france for few day test Pastis, Pineau, Rhum or local Gin or local Whisky (dont confond with rum), Muscat or Absinthe is better in restaurant or pub but is ok if you want Calvados, and yes Cidre is very cool

[@jimmybling1423]

I suspect Marina lives her life on the defensive. At least when interacting with cardboard cutouts like us online. I also suspect she spends time looking over her shoulder a little. She does enjoy flaunting the illusion of extravagance. It's understandable, the money gives her purpose, and thusly boosts her pretentiousness. Money helps her to accept herself and her past, yet she refuses to openly discuss her true feelings on the topic. If you watch any of her interviews you'll see there are certain things off the table. Marina/Sasha, yes everyone knows what you've done, but you seem to want to hide it, or at least hide your feelings. I believe you do feel some regret about it, although you're far too proud and stubborn to say different. You're just a person like everyone, you make mistakes. If only you'd admit to making mistakes, you'd be much more liked and respected. It's okay to be wrong, it's okay to forgive, and for a strong girl to cry.

[@odnavmire896]

Sasha, this was probably the best IRL stream of the year. Everything came together, an interesting excursion and a great internet signal. Such excursions are remembered for a lifetime. For example, I have a Christmas tree toy (I had one at a factory where they were made back in my school years), which is half made by my own hands. It was a wonderful day, the tasting was delicious and a few bottles were obligatory to take with me! I can't help but note the great editing of the video. Thank you! I watched it with pleasure!

[@j.goggels9115]

There's something uncanny in having Sasha Grey on my home turf. Last thing you expect is an american youtuber to show up virtually on your doorstep bc we are literally oceans apart! I know, I know, D-Day what have you... By the way, Sasha's very close from Omaha beach and Utah beach as well. If you ask me for touristic guidance, I would suggest going up the Cherbourg Peninsula, for the landscape. La Hague has beautiful wilderness (not in the scale of America though, this is Europe, everything is small). It's been nicknamed Little Ireland. From Cherbourg and Caen, you can sail to Portsmouth in England. Beautiful place Portsmouth. The trip is 3 hour long from Cherbourg and 6 hour long from Caen. Once you're in Portsmouth 1) visit the place, there is a lot to see in Pompey 2) you can go on a train to London 2 hours away... or Oxford.
