Family holiday

Loved the property and its location, Marie-Helene and Claude very welcoming. Kids loved the pool and the grounds, was a great base for us to explore Normandy, would definitely recommend to others, was also lovely to be shown round their own chateau and hear the history behind it.

Step back in time

Charming, converted 18th century carriage house attached to a main Chateau where the owners live. Marie-Hélène and her husband Claude could not have been nicer. Situated about a 10 minutes drive west of Bayeux.

Lovely stay in a historic building

Spacious rooms in a building with lots of character. Quiet location. Nearest grocery stores and restaurants are in Bayeux about 10 minutes away. Marie Helene was a generous host who was willing to share her love of the area.

A historical stay

We loved the location and the fact we were staying in a building built in early 18th century, the host and her husband were welcoming and shared interesting and incredible history of the buildings and their family! The location was so close to DDay sites, grocery stores and museums. We had very peaceful nights in the library with the large French windows open to the breeze and late setting sun each night. The place is large, we had 4 in our family and loved everything about our stay. We would definitely come back!

Normandy Beaches Visit

We stayed here for three nights while we visited the Normandy WWII beaches and sites. It was perfectly located for this. The property was spacious and had plenty of room for a large family if needed. Close proximity to Port en Bassin which had lots of good restaurants and a supermarket nearby. Nice and quiet and peaceful at night. Helene was easy to communicate with and check in and check out were super easy. No problem finding the property with provided address. Fun to stay in a historic site as well.

Going back in time...

All in all, I believe we had a wonderful experience. The property, however, has seen better days and needs some investment to redevelop its full potential. But then the price would increase substantially. The mansion setting, however, is fenomenal and if you let your imagination fly you'll be taken to a different era in time . Marie Helene couldn't be a better host and was very helpful at all times, friendly but not intrusive. In addition, you're close to everything your mind fancies: war, history, from Huns to nuns, victory to defeat. The living quarters are spacious, very clean and lighted. Nothing fancy, yet comfortable and adequate. A large ELeclerc mega supermarket is only 10 minutes away and attended to all our needs. Oh, don't forget to ask and be prepared for the vampire...

Geweldige locatie, heel vriendelijke gastheer en dame

We zijn ruim 2 weken geweest. We hebben genoten van de rust en ruimte. Hele lieve en vriendelijke gastheer en gastvrouw. Alles wat je nodig hebt was er wel, de bedden waren heerlijk opgemaakt bij aankomst. we miste misschien alleen een droger maar gastvrouw bood aan dat we handdoeken aan haar konden geven dan deed zij ze in de droger bij haar thuis! We kregen een leuke rondleiding in het kasteel en er was een idyllische kapelletje naast het kasteel. De kinderen genoten van het grote zwembad. De plek vonden wij ook plezierig, dichtbij de invasiestranden en Bajeux is een hele gezellige stad.

Calme et tranquillité dans un environnement de rêve

Grand hébergement où nous avons séjourné avec nos trois petits-fils adolescents, avec une partie raffinée (magnifique salon-bibliothèque et deux grandes pièces accueillantes ainsi qu'une vaste salle à manger) et une partie plus simple mais confortable. Immense parc à disposition avec piscine appréciée par les ados. C'est un bel endroit, très tranquille. La propriétaire est disponible et partage sa passion pour les lieux, son château et sa région. Les quelques rénovations prévues ces prochains mois seront appréciées.

Historic carriage house

A much needed break after a hectic week in Paris. It was quiet, room to run for children, easy access to Bayeux and the Normandy beaches. The rental is in the converted carriage house of a 17th century chateau replete with history provided by Marie Helene. The premises are “faded” but beds were good, bathrooms updated sufficiently, kitchen a bit of a challenge, library a lovely evening setting. Kids loved the “garden »

Unique Home in Countryside Near D-Day Sites

Our stay could not have been any nicer! We were met by our landlady and cordially shown the property. She was easy to communicate with from original booking all the way through checkout. The property itself is historical and charming. The kitchen is well equipped and we cooked often using local foods from the Bayeux Market. We enjoyed the outside space and ate in the garden. The bedrooms were large and we thought it would be a perfect set up for a extended family or friends to share. Two bathrooms were a great feature. The location was outstanding for visiting all the sites we planned to see. You do need a car. The rural setting was peaceful and yet convenient. We woke to birds and other animals instead of traffic and city noises. A wonderful way to start our busy days. From this beautiful base we visited Bayeux, St Mere Eglise, Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, Arromenches, and the American Cemetery. We planned to take the train from Bayeux to Caen but we spent more time at the beaches. We picked up our rental car in Caen and it was an easy drive. Thank you, Helene-Marie, for sharing your beautiful family home. We miss the cats greeting us in the driveway as we returned home each evening. The long, stately driveway was something out of Pride and Prejudice. Very grand and welcoming entrance.

vacances du 6 au 20 juillet 2019

Nous sommes revenus ravis avec nos quatre petits enfants de nos deux semaines de vacances . Location pleine de charme dans un environnement calme et verdoyant où nous avons été accueillis très agréablement. C'est le point de départ idéal pour visiter les plages du débarquement, sans oublier Bayeux, sa vieille ville et ses musées. Et pour les enfants il y a un parc avec accrobranche à proximité. Sans oublier la piscine et le trampoline, tout ce qu'il faut pour passer de bonnes vacances.
