The Normandy / Manche region

There are waterfalls and lovely panoramic views at nearby Mortain and a little further, Domfront has an attractive ‘old town’ and a ruined castle. Avranche, on the coast, has historic World War 2 associations and boasts a fantastic public park and gardens. Granville is a traditional, quaint, older seaside town with a
harbour and fascinating old town section.

Vire has a beautiful river valley for lovely walks or cycling and a nearby damned lake offers some of the best salmon fishing in France!

A short distance away are the rocky gorges and river of the Swisse Normande. And if you enjoy mountain biking, we have bikes at reasonable rates and you can follow some of the trails around our own area, the Vire Valley or ‘Little Switzerland’.

Or just enjoy your cosy gite, which has everything you need for a comfortable, relaxed holiday. Children can play out in safety all day long and there is plenty available for them to do – bikes to hire, swings and slides, wildlife adventures etc.
