Our half-timbered house Le Paradis is located in a quiet valley with about four other authentic half-timbered houses on spacious plots. These too are résidences secondaires. You have unobstructed views over the valley both in front of and behind the house. The terrain, full of flowers and fruit trees, is about 2,500 m2 and is located on a dead-end road. On the same property, about 30 metres apart and separated by trees and bushes, is the guest cottage Le Colonel. The area is hilly.
The novellist Pierre-Alain Gasse has written novellas about our house, its inhabitants and the valley.
We regularly hear from our guests that the Normans are so friendly and we couldn't agree more!
The half-timbered house is located in the Pays d'Auge. It lies in the departments of Calvados, Orne and a small part in Eure. The region is bordered by the rivers Touques in the east, Dives in the west, the coast (Côte Fleurie) in the north and the hills of Argentan in the south. Some well-known towns in the area include Lisieux, Honfleur, Trouville-sur-Mer and Deauville. The Pays d'Auge is considered a typical Normandy region, with well-known Normandy regional products such as camembert, cider and calvados. The region also produces AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) cheeses: Livarot and Pont-l'Évêque.
This part of Normandy is sparsely populated. Only 85 inhabitants per km2 compared to 491 inhabitants per km2 in the Netherlands.
The weather in Normandy is similar to that in the Netherlands and Belgium, with slightly higher temperatures and less frequent rainfall. Winters are usually mild and pleasant.
The sun can shine quite enthusiastically in Normandy, especially in the summer months. On the hottest days of the year, the mercury will exceed 30 degrees Celsius. Fortunately, in most places in Normandy, the wind chill is somewhat tempered by the sea breeze. You have the greatest chance of sunny weather in Normandy in the months of June and July. On average, these months have eight hours of sunshine per day. In May and August, this average is one hour lower.
The Netherlands and Belgium have an average of 1500 sunshine hours; Normandy 1750 sunshine hours.

Reviews
Gert van der Graaf from Espel,
Prima vakantie huis, werkelijk prachtige plek.
mooie omgeving, we waren de laatste van dit seizoen dus de tuin had wel een beurtje nodig..
gelukkig heb ik groene vingers.
Prijs kwaliteit zeker goed!Paula Bood from Westzaan,
Wij hebben genoten van Le Paradis, zoals zovelen voor ons. Prachtige ligging midden in de natuur. Het is er overdag en 's nachts echt heel stil. De gite is sfeervol en compleet ingericht.
De streek is heel mooi, veel kastelen en tuinen, leuke dorpen en interessante bezienswaardigheden. Natuurlijk genieten van het Franse leven en de aardige mensen. Echt een huis om vaker naar toe te gaan.Dorien Krosenbrink from Nijverdal,
We hebben een super tijd gehad in het huisje. Het huis is van alle comfort voorzien, goed geoutilleerde keuken en je kon er heerlijk in de tuin zitten: altijd wel een plekje uit de wind te vinden. Prachtig uitzicht aan de achterkant over de weilanden en elke dag kwamen de koeien rustigjes aan de wei in kuieren.
In de omgeving zijn veel mogelijkheden om te wandelen en te fietsen. Ook kun je mooie plekken bezoeken zoals Omaha Beach of Bayeux, maar dan heb je wel een auto nodig.
We hebben genoten van deze plek.
Restaurants, food & wine
Normandy is of course the land of Camembert (the village is 3 km away) and other delicious cheeses such as Livarot and Pont l'Evêque.
Apples are used in the most delicious apple pies and for the production of cider with light bubbles (very tasty with lunch, especially the pear cider) pommeau (a Normandy speciality: calvados mixed with apple juice) and calvados, the serious work. Nearby you can visit the cheese factory Graindorge. A few restaurants within driving distance are worth a mention in the Guide Michelin. Let yourself be pampered or cook and enjoy in the garden with bird sounds in the background at sunset.
Nature, culture and good food are the strong ingredients of this beautiful piece of France.
Activities
Les Champeaux in the Orne, is an hour's drive from Suisse Normande, the more rugged part of Normandy and the beautiful wooded region of Le Perche. But also an hour's drive from the beach in Deauville/Trouville with its many seafood restaurants, Cabourg and the cosy port town of Honfleur. So as is often said : Entre terre et mer. Antique markets or flea markets are organised every weekend in season. Several gardens are open in Normandy.
In memory of the Second World War, you can visit the Mémorial de Montormel, where you can find out all the details about this period.
Normandy has a lot to offer in many areas: Rouen cathedral, the famous Bayeux tapestry, the beaches where the Allies landed during D-day, 6 June 1944.
Check out Haras du Pin, France's most famous horse-breeding farm.
A brisk walk or nice car trips on the country roads are among the possibilities. Several mountain bike routes have been mapped out over narrow, steep forest paths.
There is a 33 km cider route by car, which almost passes our house. Both beautiful when the apple trees are in bloom and during the harvest in September/October.
Great golf on a new 9-hole course, with old trees, in the neighbourhood where there is still peace and quiet and you are not rushed by fellow players. Where else can you find that?
In Saint Pierre sur Dives, you can hire a canoe or kayak to paddle on the river Dives.
But also do nothing for a few days : enjoy the silence, the surroundings with almost no dissonance, the beautiful starry sky and the beautiful nature where wild orchids are at ease and bloom abundantly.
In autumn and during winter even deer are spotted in our backyard!
Landscape psychologists agree that nowhere does a person recover faster from his busy existence, than in nature!
