Lovely stay in a historic building
Spacious rooms in a building with lots of character. Quiet location. Nearest grocery stores and restaurants are in Bayeux about 10 minutes away. Marie Helene was a generous host who was willing to share her love of the area.

Normandy Beaches Visit
We stayed here for three nights while we visited the Normandy WWII beaches and sites. It was perfectly located for this. The property was spacious and had plenty of room for a large family if needed. Close proximity to Port en Bassin which had lots of good restaurants and a supermarket nearby. Nice and quiet and peaceful at night. Helene was easy to communicate with and check in and check out were super easy. No problem finding the property with provided address. Fun to stay in a historic site as well.

Historic carriage house
A much needed break after a hectic week in Paris. It was quiet, room to run for children, easy access to Bayeux and the Normandy beaches. The rental is in the converted carriage house of a 17th century chateau replete with history provided by Marie Helene. The premises are “faded” but beds were good, bathrooms updated sufficiently, kitchen a bit of a challenge, library a lovely evening setting. Kids loved the “garden »

Chateau living grandeur!
Marie the owner was great. Easy checkin and out. Was very informative of the area. The Chateau was rustic, comfortable and cozy. Loved staying in the past while learning about the past.

Unique Home in Countryside Near D-Day Sites
Our stay could not have been any nicer! We were met by our landlady and cordially shown the property. She was easy to communicate with from original booking all the way through checkout. The property itself is historical and charming. The kitchen is well equipped and we cooked often using local foods from the Bayeux Market. We enjoyed the outside space and ate in the garden. The bedrooms were large and we thought it would be a perfect set up for a extended family or friends to share. Two bathrooms were a great feature. The location was outstanding for visiting all the sites we planned to see. You do need a car. The rural setting was peaceful and yet convenient. We woke to birds and other animals instead of traffic and city noises. A wonderful way to start our busy days. From this beautiful base we visited Bayeux, St Mere Eglise, Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, Arromenches, and the American Cemetery. We planned to take the train from Bayeux to Caen but we spent more time at the beaches. We picked up our rental car in Caen and it was an easy drive. Thank you, Helene-Marie, for sharing your beautiful family home. We miss the cats greeting us in the driveway as we returned home each evening. The long, stately driveway was something out of Pride and Prejudice. Very grand and welcoming entrance.

Going back in time...
All in all, I believe we had a wonderful experience. The property, however, has seen better days and needs some investment to redevelop its full potential. But then the price would increase substantially. The mansion setting, however, is fenomenal and if you let your imagination fly you'll be taken to a different era in time . Marie Helene couldn't be a better host and was very helpful at all times, friendly but not intrusive. In addition, you're close to everything your mind fancies: war, history, from Huns to nuns, victory to defeat. The living quarters are spacious, very clean and lighted. Nothing fancy, yet comfortable and adequate. A large ELeclerc mega supermarket is only 10 minutes away and attended to all our needs. Oh, don't forget to ask and be prepared for the vampire...

Normandy Beaches
Our hostess was quite charming and gracious. The location was so close to everything yet private and intimate. We were only about 8 km from Bayeaux and the big grocery store, Leclerc and 15 to 30 minutes from.just about any of the DDay sites and beaches.

Fantastic stay in Normandy
I brought my parents to Normandy and was so happy to have found Marie and her beautiful chateau. We absolutely had a great 4 days of touring and sightseeing, but equally enjoyed coming home to this magnificent place. Close to Bayeux for the tapestry and other site seeing, we also enjoyed dinners at Port en Bessin which was close and was a beautiful little fishing town. We also drove and did Mont St. Michel and made it back for flag lowering ceremony at 5:00 at the US Military Cemetery above Omaha. Marie was gracious and wonderful host. Her place was wonderful and historic. Will do it again!

Great fun with the kids!
We stayed for a week and enjoyed having enough space for everyone (there were 9 of us). The garden area was used by our teenage kids to play badminton, boule, get in the pool, play table tennis and generally charge around. We ate outside a couple of times and used the BBQ supplied which was great. A pleasant and enjoyable holiday.
