Enjoy them in cakes, crumbles, clafoutis, compotes... simply indulge!Poissy noyauYour stay in Yvelines is an ideal opportunity to taste a very local liquor, that of the city of Poissy, known as noyau, which is based on almonds and apricots macerated or distilled in brandy (cognac or armagnac). Two versions exist: the silver goblet (almond-flavored) and the Saint-Louis seal (which also has notes of orange blossom). This liqueur from Yvelines, which is one of the oldest in France, is of course to be consumed in moderation.
