There is the St Sever National Forest to picnic and walk in just beyond our village too. All around are marked walking trails or places to just wander and explore. A Normandy 4 Two holiday can get you fit!

We regularly have barn owls nesting in our barn and glow-worms, dormice and red squirrels appear in the lanes nearby. Champ du Boult and St Michel de Montjoie figure on the local Granite tourist trail.

 There are several smaller towns and villages with their own smaller markets, bars and shops within three and six miles of the cottage. And ,of course, our local bar a mile away , has fresh bread and a few basic items.

Enjoy the great restaurants or succumb to the invitations to sample cheese, cider and Calvados. Explore the Depots Ventes (Bric a Brac warehouses) or the Vides Greniers (village street flea markets in summer).We supply lots of information in the cottage. Or just relax...
