Manoir de La Porte (house)

Home description

Charming and authentic Norman house, spectacularly set in the grounds of an eighteenth-century manor house between Honfleur and Deauville in the Pays d'Auge. The cottage is part of the Manoir de la Porte estate, completely independent and very typical of the traditional architectural style of the Calvados area of Normandy.

We are 10 km from Pont l'Evêque, about 20 minutes from both Deauville, Honfleur and the beaches at Trouville and less than an hour from the Normandy Landing Beaches. Paris is 2 hours from here. In the country side and close to the very nice harbour of Honfleur (15km), the beaches of Deauville Trouville (15 km)Cabourg (30 km), with lots of nice typical French antique shops and restaurants in the little villages around (Cormeilles, Blangy, Pont l'Evêque, Beaumont en Auge...), several golfs around (Saint Gatien, Saint Julien, Deauville...). There are also lots of places to ride horses....

The Normandy / Calvados region

The Pays d'Auge is an area of lush pastureland, valleys and apple orchards, where some of the best cider and finest calvados brandy is made and you can visit many of the farms to taste and buy direct. Villages that capture the essence of Normandy; Cormeilles, Beaumont-en-Auge, Beuvron-en-Auge, Blangy-le-Château are also worth a detour.

You always eat well here and the menus are varied and generous, so there is something to suit all tastes and pockets. There are numerous restaurants to choose from, including several Michelin starred ones and some excellent seafood restaurants along the coast. Dairy cattle provide rich milk for a galaxy of cheeses like Pont l'Evêque, Livarot and Camembert and cream and cider as well as calvados are used in many dishes.
