Short Stopover
We enjoyed our stay at this small Gite adjoined to the owner's house set amongst the fields. The Gite has it's own parking place and a small enclosed garden with table and barbecue. A great base for exploring the D-Day beaches and museums (car essential). A double bed upstairs and a sofabed in the lounge for extra guest.

Gîte isolé, calme et bien agencé
Pour les amoureux de nature et de randonnées, c'est un lieu idéal. Situé au milieu du département, c'est aussi pratique pour visiter le Cotentin et l'ouest du Calvados. L'équipement du logis est parfait, et le petit jardin également pour profiter de l'extérieur, ainsi que le parking devant la porte très pratique.
