St Grégoire is about 4kms from St Georges du Vievre which has all the essential shops. It is about 12kms from Brionne and Pont Audemer, both of which have colourful twice weekly street markets and large supermarkets.
Le Havre is about an hour and Calais between 2.5 and 3 hrs; Honfleur, Deauville, Rouen and Lisieux are all between about 45mins and an hour away; Paris is about 1.5hrs, by car, and about the same by train from Bernay (which avoids Paris driving and parking!), and Bayeux is about the same.
There is swimming at an outdoor pool in St Georges; and a lake with a sandy beach in Brionne. The Normandy beaches are within 1hr, and Golf, tennis, sailing, canoeing and riding are all close by.
There are many châteaux, gardens, etc in the area, including the monastery at Bec Hellouin, Champ de Bataille (which also has a golf course) and Monet's Giverny. We love the many miles of wonderful forest walks, which are especially beautiful in the spring and autumn.
