Accommodation and Facilities for the chateau / country house in Normandy, France

Local Interest

The area is famous for the Falaise Gap battles after 'D' day and many car tours are indicated by sign posts in the surrounding area. The 'D' day beaches are within easy reach as is Bayeaux and the world famous tapestry. William the Conqueror's Falaise castle and exhibition is nearby. Falaise is the birthplace of William the Conqueror and although extensively damaged during the Second World War retains a distinctly medieval air. The town is situated in the Ante valley and is dominated by an enormous fortress high above a ravine. The French national equestrian stud, situated at 'La Pins' is a forty minute drive from the house through delightful countryside. The fashionable coastal towns of Honfleur, Deauville and Trouville are all but a short drive away as are many of the smaller more intimate seaside villages. This area is also the gateway to the Suiss Normand, an area of outstanding natural beauty. There are many chateaux and gardens in the area to visit, brochures in the house

Nearest Town

St. Pierre sur Dives is the nearest town of any size. It grew up around a rich Benedictine abbey that was founded in the 11C and still boasts a remarkable old abbey church. Centred around a medieval market hall there is a weekly market where fresh local produce can be purchased. Colourful and lively, there is a great atmosphere as friends meet to buy their weekly supplies and haggle over prices. On some Sunday's antique markets are also held in the market.
