Further details for this holiday cottage rental in Calvados, France

La Valaiserie is a typical “fermette”. South facing, it was originally built on a single level using an oak “cruck” frame (part of which still survives) which was then surrounded by 2 stone walls built with lime mortar in-filled with debris – almost a metre thick in places. The roof would have been thatched or covered with turf. The focal point was the huge open fire at one end around which daily life revolved with the rest of the building given over to animals. Once these granite buildings are warmed up they are quite efficient “thermostores” and take a long time to cool down. These buildings and a hectare or so of land would have supplied food and housing for a typical family. Close your eyes and think back to a time when daily life was governed both by the seasons? Long days during the summer and short ones during the winter. Everything was done by hand, sowing the crops, harvesting and milking.

A time when there was no electricity, water came from the well and heat for warmth and cooking came from the fire?
