The Normandy / Eure region

If you want peace and quiet this is the place for you lovely walks on empty roads. Get up early and see the deer and rabbits, it is like having your own private estate. Bring your bikes and ride for miles without seeing cars.
Go to the bakers in Broglie and get your bread fresh every day, soak up the french way of life slow and uncomplicated.

A 10 minute drive to Orbec which has a large supermarket, petrol station and a lively town with lots of shops and restaurants.

There is also a golf course just outside Bernay.


The area is famous for Calvados (apple liquor), cider and pommeau (sweet apple wine), all made with local apples.

“Lovely cottage, good location” We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Touque, Carol made us feel very welcome and we soon settled in, we only stayed for 1 week, but there's plenty to see nearby with lots of pretty towns and... more Response: Thank you for the great review so glad you all enjoyed the cottage hope to see you again.

“Fantastic cottage suitable for all ages” We have enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage has all the mod cons required to cope with a small children. Our party of eight had plenty of room during rainy days to occupy ourselves without tripping over each other. The bedrooms were big and comfortable. The garden is amazing with plenty of room for the kids to run about. The pool was enjoyed by all and perfect for hot days. The outside eating area is under cover so great to sit under and listen to the rain beat down or take cover under from the blazing sun! Plenty of wildlife about to listen out for or watch. 5 mins from the local supermarket and easily accessible direct from the motorway. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing family holiday. The owners are friendly and very helpful when finding places to visit. The area is absolutely beautiful with plenty of tudoresque buildings dotting the landscape.

“A relaxing break in the French countryside” A very good value French cottage within reasonable driving distance of Calais, situated in a very quiet village but close to a small town and supermarket. The surrounding areas offer lots of interesting places to visit although all require driving. The cottage itself has 3 light and airy bedrooms with beautiful views over the countryside, my toddler was continually amazed by all the farm animals. There are ducks and chickens as well as a large pond in the grounds of the cottage and lots of lovely space for children to run around in.
