The house
Le Potager is an ancient granite-built Norman boulangerie. It is full of character with thick stone walls and old oak beams, making it cosy in Winter and cool in Summer. The kitchen is typically French, with rustic oak cabinets, and has everything you need for your vacation. The main bedroom is built on a mezzanine platform, so a balcony opens out over the huge granite chimney breast. However, it is accessed through a door on the main landing area, so still offers total privacy. The second bedroom can be arranged as two singles or a king-sized double, as you prefer.
A modern Jøtul wood burning stove is available in the cooler months, so you can relax with a Chocolat Chaud (or a Calvados Brandy) and a good book in comfort.
The bathroom, with shower and washing machine, is located on the ground floor.
Outside there is a decking area for your exclusive use, with large parasol and dining set for four. There is also room for a BBQ and sun loungers.
Highchair and cot is available on request.

Ron Naarden from Alkmaar,
Wij hebben heel erg genoten van ons verblijf op deze prachtige locatie. De gite was schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Eigenaars Ian en Sue waren super gastvrij en vriendelijk.

Restaurants, food & wine
Food and Drink are part of the fabric of Norman life! The area is famous for its wonderful fresh produce from the land or the sea.
There are some very good local restaurants to suit all budgets, from fresh galettes to multi course taster menus.
Visit a traditional local market,(Vire market is every Friday, throughout the year) to buy anything from locally caught fish to Camembert cheese, fresh fruit and vegetables, to the famous local cidre and Calvados apple brandy.
Activities
From the world famous Mont St Michel to the Bayeux Tapestry. William the Conquerer's castle, to Chateaux and Abbeys - there is a whole host of sites to choose from. The area is steeped in history. The D-Day landing beaches are a must see and there are a host of memorials, cemeteries and museums to visit and plenty of local WW2 history right on our door step.
Walking, cycling, horse riding, canoeing, high ropes, luge, zip wires, and even bungey jumping. There is plenty to do for all ages.
For the less energetic, there is fantastic walking throughout the area and an excellent golf course near by.
