Home description
Recently-built Normandy-style house providing comfortable homely accommodation for up to 8 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 lake with a sandy beach, ideal for swimming, boating, windsurfing, fishing, with 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 + sandpit. On-the-spot British babysitter. Plenty of toys + game and maybe our bilingual children as playmates... There are 2 swimming pools, both a 15-minute drive.
Just right for couples needing a break: Visit the beautiful gardens at a couple of local chateaux 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 in the antique shops for a souvenir to take home.Or if you enjoy sport try canoeing, wind-surfing, tennis, horse-riding, swimming, or just a stroll in the local shops, mingle with the population, practise your French... walk in the forests, 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 Deauville's long sandy beaches, Honfleur's yachting harbour + seafront restaurants.
Cerza Zoo National Wildlife Park set in 150 acres of woodland - a great way to spend a day. Nearby Lisieux with its magnificent Basilique.
Caen and Rouen are both worth a day trip with their museums, the Cathedral, Gros Horloge (Rouen) and D-Day Memorials and landing beaches (Caen).
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.
