The Reinette Apple
The reinette apple is an apple grown widely in the Cévennes and is ripe at the beginning of winter. It is good for eating fresh as well for cooking.
Originating from Canada, the reinette was originally taken to Canada by Frenchmen and women in the form of seeds and seedlings, setting off from Normandy and Brittany. It was for a long time the only apple grown in Canada, and the reinette from Le Vigan was a variety exported back to France by the Canadians.
