The beach is just a 15 minute scenic drive away and the cities of Dieppe and Abbeville are just half an hour away, while Paris is an easy two hour drive. Grandcourt is a typical pretty French country village with a breathtaking church and just two shops – a grocers, and that all-important bakers where after a three minute walk you will be able to buy your freshly baked bread and croissants each morning for breakfast. The village also has its own very authentic bar. The locals are very friendly and it’s impossible to pass someone in the street without them saying a friendly “bonjour”. Less than 10 minutes drive through the forest brings you to the picturesque market town of Blangy-sur-Bresle with its lively Sunday morning market and eclectic collection of shops as well as a large supermarket.

The area is very popular for green-laning.

There are many fantastic brocantes every Sunday during the summer – highly recommended and a great and very French day out for all the family. There is golf at Le Touquet. There are wonderful cycle paths, walks and picnicking areas in the forest of Eu, two minutes away. There is amazing wildlife to watch. There are plenty of wonderful restaurants in the area. There are expansive pebble beaches at Criel-sur-Mer and Mers-les-Bain and sandy beaches at Le Crotoy. There’s the bird sanctuary to visit at Marquenterre. There’s a great fish market and a casino at Le Treport. There’s a water park, Bagatelle, near le Touquet. Paris can easily be done in a day trip. Disneyland and Parc Asterix can be done each in a day. There’s Monet’s garden to visit at Giverny. So much to do for everyone.

Great time!

Mydogsnameisburp United Kingdom
Review Submitted: May 19, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2008
We had a wonderful time at this cottage. Great towels and robes and a wonderful champagne reception. The grounds were GREAT! The owner communicated with us extremely well and was very helpful. There is so much to do around the area (I suggest the market at Dieppe on Saturdays), but not so much in Grandcourt itself. However, if you had a big family getaway to just enjoy family this place would be it. Its really something. We stayed in the cottage and my only complaint would be that it was a bit tight for the number of people it slept. I would say that the cottage really would sleep 4 adults and 2 children and not 6 adults. Besides that I would highly recommend this place if you want peace and quiet and to enjoy family time together... and a thank you to the owner.
