Dotted with dune-backed beaches, dramatic cliffs and charming towns, the Normandy coast offers an idyllic, family-focussed summer retreat, far removed from the frenetic pace of everyday life. In keeping with Normandy's fascinating and well-documented history, this charismatic stone building offers a glimpse into the past. It's been lovingly renovated with your needs in mind. However, there's still plenty of period charm that helps this home stand out from the crowd. From the shuttered windows to the exposed beams and soaring ceilings, to the stylish furniture, cutting-edge kitchen and sleek shower rooms, this home spans the centuries. History buffs will no doubt appreciate the proximity of a section of Juno Beach, which attracts those seeking to learn more about the D-Day landings, as well as a chance to marvel at the iconic Bayeux tapestry. Nature lovers, meanwhile, will find their happy place in the hiking paths and bike trails overlooking the Seulles Valley, a short drive away.

About Normandy

Normandy is a region steeped in history and culture, with stunning landscapes at every turn. It's home to picturesque towns and villages, white chalk cliffs, pristine beaches, and celebrated landmarks. Our suggestion is Mont Saint Michel – an island topped with a striking medieval abbey that seems to rise right out of the sea. It's one of France's most unique and visited attractions, with gothic architecture, ramparts and narrow streets...
