Les Epiceas sleeps 2/4, and is a comfortable cottage ideal for a couple wanting plenty of space or a family of up to four. It has a private terrace and barbecue, and is part of an old cider barn which has been beautifully converted.

The bedroom has an en suite shower room with views over the lake. The living area is open plan. The sitting area is comfortably furnished with a sofa and 2 armchairs. In addition there is a double sofa bed conveniently situated in an alcove to the side of the living space.

French doors at the end of the sitting room open out onto the private terrace, which has views across the pool and the grounds beyond. There is an outdoor dining area with BBQ. This terrace enjoys the late rays of the sun as it sets as it is raised above and to the side of the pool area.

The Normandy / Orne region

Our region is steeped in History and holds delights for all ages and interests. The Normandy Beaches of the historical D Day landings are an easy drive from here. Bayeux with its magnificent hand worked tapestry, majestic Cathedral and many restaurants, is less than an hour away.

Monet's House and Gardens at Giverney , though a little further away, are a memorable way to spend a day. Honfleur , with its charming fishing port, surrounded by first class seafood restaurants, is very close. A delicious lunch followed by a stroll around the art galleries, or a sight of artists painting in the streets is all part of the pleasure.

Experience the hot spa baths of Bagnoles de l'Orne in picturesque Swiss Normandy. Visit Falaise Castle , childhood home of William the Conquerer and the beautiful Chateau of Vendeuvre with landscaped water gardens and the largest collection of miniature furniture in the world

The Vimoutiers area

Vimoutiers town is less than one mile away, and has a traditional square with a beautiful church at one end with double spires and vibrant stained glass windows. There is a choice of boulangerie shops with delicious bread, cakes and croissants, as well as a small supermarket and several little restaurants, cafes and shops. There is a large supermarket on the edge of the town.

There are lots of different activities to enjoy all within a short drive from Les Patis. The local horse riding stables has days out on horseback with a picnic, as well as one hour lessons in groups for all skill levels. The nearsest Golf course is at Clecy, about 45 minutes drive and is known as one of the loveliest in the area.

There are several Local Markets nearby selling fresh local produce. Cheese and Cider Making are local specialities. For the more adventurous there is white water Canoeing along the river, another really good day out. There is an apple fair in Vimoutiers in October each year, when an amazing feat of construction takes place in the town using only apples! Not to be missed!

A smart bicycle hire shop is open in the town, its cycles would not look out of place in the Tour de France! Fishing in our own lake will yield large and healthy carp, tench and roach. No licence is needed.
