Reviews
![]() 31 Mar 2012 |
We had a wonderful break here. The gite is very well appointed and has everything you need for a self-catering holiday. Robert and Karen were excellent, welcoming hosts. Michel de Montjoie is set in particulalrly beautiful Normandy countryside - rolling hills and steep valleys dotted with small farmsteads, beech hedges and tiny apple orchards. If you have a car (we rented one locally), the gite is well situated for day trips to Bayeux or Mont St MIchel, or to markets in local towns such as Brecey and Vire. You can buy most groceries and vegetables at the nearby shop, but larger supermarkets are a short drive away. The gite is very peaceful and relaxing and the new deck area provides a quiet place to eat, read, or just sit, looking out over the fields towards Mont St Michel, with a little stream running by. |
