About this property
20 METERS FROM THE PORT, boats, restaurants. Spacious house. Private parking.
L'ESCALE DU VIEUX PORT: Large old house in the heart of a fishing village 20m from the port, completely renovated and tastefully decorated by an interior designer. Enjoy the gym or the main room with TV (French, English and German channels), home cinema, radio, books and games to spend time with your family. This house offers you large spaces. The large kitchen and the living room blend harmoniously and the friendly bedrooms invite you to linger. The fireplace with log storage offers privacy and comfort. 2 bathrooms are at your disposal: one on the ground floor with the gym and the other near the bedrooms upstairs. All rooms are independent from each other. Due to the port life with traders, restaurants and fishermen nearby, you can enjoy the life of a fishing port and be in direct contact with the inhabitants. Buying fresh fish here is as easy as croissants in the morning.
The region also invites you to relax with its cycle paths, its 36-hole golf course near our house, our coastal paths, etc...
Our Region: It offers a very wide variety of very interesting historical sites. In addition to the well-known D-Day landing villages (OMAHA, ARROMANCHES, PORT EN BESSIN, the first Allied oil port, LA POINTE DU HOC, LA CAMBE, etc.), you can visit the many castles and mansions in our region, as well as the very beautiful towns of BAYEUX, which has retained all of its historical harmony. The COTENTIN awaits you with the ports of ST VAAST LA HOUGUE, BARFLEUR, CHERBOURG, the GATTEVILLE lighthouse, the NEZ DE JOBOURG cliffs, etc. Then you can continue to MONT SAINT MICHEL, preferably in the morning to avoid the crowds. Magnificent landscapes, because everything is accessible in a few minutes by car... The romantics will also set sail for the CHAUSEY or TATIHOU islands...
Our history. You are certainly interested in the events that took place during the last war in our region. Know that my family lived during this period in PORT EN BESSIN HUPPAIN and that it actively participated, as a merchant, in supplying the inhabitants, in the DDAY events and in the reconstruction of the country. I will be happy to let you know…

About the host
Hosted by Langlois Jean Francois
Our house is located right next to our shop, in which we sell regional products, delicatessen, wine, and spirits, including Calvados. If you need anything, we won't be far.
Why they chose this property
We have decided to rent our house in order to receive tourists who want to discover our beautiful region. Our activities are focused on tourism and the discovery of our region.
What makes this property unique
The house is situated at the heart of the region, only a few metres away from the harbour, the shops, the restaurants, and the regional activities. It is the reflection of the fishermen's houses in which a spirit remains, giving it a soothing atmosphere.
A decorator brought her own delicate touch. On the ground floor, you enter the house, through a corridor that leads you upstairs and to the rest of the house, as well as to relaxing area, a fitness room, a shower room (which includes a sink, a shower and an separate toilet), and a baggage room. Upstairs, the large spaces allow you to go easily from the living area (the kitchen open onto the dining room) and the living room, where you can enjoy the crackling of the fire coming from the closed fireplace. This living room consists of a comfortable sofa which can be turned into a double bed at night.
The two bedrooms are on the second floor and add to the soothing atmosphere of the house, with great spaces under the roof structure. There is also a shower room with WC on this floor.
The direct vicinity with the shops is very convenient and you can even buy fresh fish caught during the night less than 100 m away from the house.
A few meters away, you will have access to the harbour and its activities, and, during summer, great fireworks are launched from there.
Every Sunday morning, you can go to the local market, which is very popular in the region.
