The Normandy / Manche region

Annexed by Roman legions and Viking adventurers, disputed for centuries by English and French kings, beach-head for D-Day armies, Normandy is a melting-pot of peoples and languages, a cross-roads where cultures and ideas, artefacts and produce, have met and mingled, giving it a rich heritage of traditions, monuments and history.

The Saint Sebastien de Raids area

Saint Sebastien de Raids is a small village just 5 minutes away from the town of Periers. It is rural but not isolated. There are many places to visit nearby, the nearest beach at Pirou is 15 minutes away, the towns of Carentan, St Lo and Coutances are all about 20 minutes away in different directions. The Bulot Festival (whelks) in Pirou is well worth a visit as are all the events that take place to commemorate the D Day landings. For the more adventurous a day trip to Jersey or Paris can be undertaken.

“A relaxing break in a home away from home” This is a well equipped, homely gite in a peaceful, charming village. It is a short drive to many interesting places like bayeaux and the D-Day beaches. There are really good restaurants in the local towns of Countances and Carentan. We were particularly charmed by the church bells which rang out musically from the village church.

“Would recommend this lovely holiday home” Lovely holiday home in idyllic quiet village location which was perfect for our short holiday break. Very spacious, clean and well equipped with a large garden for our children to play in. We visited beaches which are approx a 20 minute drive away and had trips to various impressive towns within close proximity of the property. We particularly enjoyed relaxing evenings in the front conservatory. Would highly recommend this property and will definitely return.

“Great getaway” Very enjoyable stay. The property is in a quiet village and is secure for kids to run around. Beaches are around 20 minutes drive away (either side of Cherbourg penisula so depending on weather can pick which side is best). Loads to see and do in the area and plenty to keep the kids and us occupied. Perrier has the nearest local shops which is around a 15 minute cycle ride (circa 3/4 minutes in car). The property was very clean and had everything we needed and expected to have. The rear of the property catches the afternoon and evening sun and is an excellent place to sit out for evening meals and drinks!

“Excellent holiday in superb property” Very spacious, homely property in lovely quiet location. Only approx 3 minute drive to local shops and great location for exploring the local area. It offers all you need for a great holiday. The property is very well equipped in all areas. Useful portfolio available on places to visit which was great to entertain the children, when we were not enjoying the peaceful and secure huge back garden.

“fantastic house idyllic location” We stayed here for 2 weeks and came back refreshed and revived, plenty to do in the area, and the house was lovely really homely and all you could need for a family holiday. The children were thrilled with the games, and bikes and we spent many an hour exploring the quiet countryside and had some lovely bbq's and relaxed in the lovely garden. Particularly enjoyed the 2 conservatories and had a wonderful break. The log fires were lovely when the weather was chilly, And curled up with a good book and all we could need was provided. wouldnt hestiate to recommend. The town of carentan which wasnt very far away has good rail links which we used to go to paris for the day and they also had lovely restaurants especially the crepes. Really looking forward to going back to sample the french wines cheese and lovely weather
