Holiday homes in Normandy - private accommodation to rent

Normandy offers a gorgeous and varied countryside, referred to as le bocage, and a mild climate, a little warmer than that of the south of England. It remains France’s farm, providing some of the country’s most famous cheeses as well as vast expanses of the orchards producing fresh cider and calvados. The 400 miles of coast offers stretches of sandy beaches for those seeking peace and quiet and pretty seaside resorts such as Deauville and Honfleur are popular with holidaying Parisians. There is a lot to see in the region, from the historic Bayeux Tapestry and the D-day beaches to Monet’s garden at Giverny and Mont St Michel. The ancient city of Rouen is a must, as is the museum for peace in Caen, a town which has been rebuilt after its destruction in the Second World War. The area offers many golf courses and for the children Festyland near Caen hosts over 30 attractions.
