Our property is located in Normandy, in the    south of la Manche, very close to to the

Bay of the Mont Saint Michel. You will find us amid the “bocage” countryside which has inspired numerous musicians and painters. This green and luscious landscape with pastures and woodland, pretty lakes and rivers, and stone built villages, conveys a typically timeless “French Atmosphere”.
