Le Batison (house)

Home description

Recently-built Normandy-style house providing comfortable homely accommodation for up to 6 people. Set in a small village just 5 minutes from Brionne with its twice-weekly colourful market (Thursdays + Sundays), a choice of restaurants, supermarkets and a superb lake with a sandy beach, ideal for swimming, boating, windsurfing, fishing, also a children's play area, showers, WC + café.

Perfect for families: Spacious mezzanine bedroom/playroom and a fully-equipped play area outside for the little ones with swings, playhouse + sandpit. On-the-spot British babysitter. Plenty of toys + games (inside + out) and maybe our bilingual children as playmates... There are 2 swimming pools, both a 15-minute drive.

Just right for couples: Visit the beautiful gardens of our local chateaux (4 within a 20-minute drive) or play golf on the 18-hole course. Wander around the quaint village of Bec Hellouin where time seems to stand still. You can buy the monks' hand-made pottery at the Abbey, have a pancake and a bowl of cider on a terrace restaurant or search for a souvenir in the antique shops. Or if you enjoy sport try canoeing, wind-surfing, fishing, golf, tennis, horse-riding, swimming, or just a stroll in the local shops, mingle with the population, practise your French... walk in the countryside, grab a bargain at a Brocante (Street Fair) or just sip a glass of wine on a terrace café as you watch the world go by.

The Normandy / Eure region

Long, warm sunny days in the summer months - ideal for outside wining and dining. The weather can be variable and it is not unknown to experience glorious out-of-season sunshine.

Just a 1-hour drive to the coast to visit the Landing Beaches and D-Day memorials, Deauville's long sandy beaches, Honfleur's harbour + seafront restaurants.

Cerza National Wildlife Park set in 150 acres of woodland - a great way to spend a day. Nearby Lisieux with its magnificent Basilique.

Rouen is worth a day trip to see the museums, Cathedral + Le Gros Horloge.

Claude Monet's gardens offer a magnificent floral display in all seasons.

Paris is only 1 hour 1/2 by train or car, Eurodisney a little further : 2 hours1/2.

Not forgetting the charm of the Normandy countryside, the fields and woodlands.

Cider and calvados tasting are a must and there's a wide range of gastronomical restaurants just waiting to tempt your tastebuds. Try the local cheeses : Camembert, Pont L'Eveque, Livarot - delicious with a glass of Burgundy red.
