Nice to haves

Oh, to live in a French chateau and feast your eyes on miles of countryside views! Fleur De Lis is a holiday fit for even the most discerning guests, starting with a lavish tree-lined driveway that will transport you straight to the seventeenth century. As you travel, you might notice a rather large pool (all yours) where you can practise your backstroke, work on your tan, or walk right past it on your morning stroll across the estate. Depending on how you feel, you can take your meals in the regal dining room, which will involve dressing up appropriately, or you can go the informal route, dining alfresco in the gardens. There are simply so many things to do in this home, from admiring the antiques, playing tennis in the courts, watching period dramas in the appropriate setting, or even going down to the nearby sandy beach. For day trips, we recommend that you head off to see Mont St Michel, which is easily accessible via the motorway, as is the Bayeux Tapestry.

Fleur De Lis

This is a modern, cosy 4-room property located in the residential district of Bretteville sur Ay, just 150m away from the beach. The house can accommodate up to 6 guests and features modern furnishings. The living/dining room is equipped with satellite TV and has direct access to the terrace. There is a fully equipped open kitchen with a small dining table that leads out to the garden. The upper floor has two bedrooms with sloping ceilings and rooflight, one with a French bed (160 cm) and another with two beds. There is also an open gallery on this floor. The house comes with a washing machine, dryer, children's high chair and baby cot. Guests can enjoy the outdoor space on the terrace which comes equipped with terrace furniture, portable barbecue and deck chairs. One pet/dog is allowed per stay.

Amidst Calvados orchards and stunning rural landscapes rests this 18th-century chateau in the heart of the Normandy countryside. Dripping in elegance, the castle retains its enchanting heritage dating back to the 1700s, while modern renovations bring added comfort and practicality. 

Experience Normandy's unrivalled calmness as you wander around the chateau's 13 acres of lawns, ancient trees and rose gardens. During the springtime, watch the flowers blossom, while in summer, you can take delight in picking plums, apples and cherries from the orchard. The autumnal colours and majestic charm of the wintertime – make this spot completely ravishing all year round.

Original features inside the chateau include parquet flooring, Louis XV and XVI fireplaces and a wonderful classic French kitchen equipped with an open fire. With such preservations in addition to simply beautiful contemporary additions – this spot certainly boasts the wow factor. We particularly adore the office and library spaces, which somehow make us want to pack our laptops just to find a reason to enjoy these rooms. 

Upstairs the bedroom and bathroom suites are dressed in minimal designs and invite guests to truly switch off. The window-side built-in bathtub is like something from a fairytale and deserves to be enjoyed with a glass of champagne in hand. Or why not make that a Calvados cocktail? 

You'll be within easy reach of the Normandy cider routes from here, so soak up the slow pace of life found in the charming local villages, which are most often home to atmospheric markets boasting fine quality fresh fare. Within short driving distance, the likes of Bayeux, Caen and the D-Day Landing beaches are well worth a visit if you're keen to explore Normandy's cultural and historical sights amongst its captivating natural beauty. 

Calvados Royal

Wheelchair Access

Get a taste of royal life at this 16th-century chateau, located 5km from the tiny town of Haye du Puits. Go wild swimming in the pristine waters of the valley, or ramble in Normandy’s nature – this home offers 2.5 hectares of private land that’s all yours to explore. Handsomely historical, the manor was built as a fortified house in the Huguenot rebellion, and its period features include an original thatched roof. Climb to the top of its defensive tower for stunning views of the rolling green countryside, or out your alfresco fantasies with long, relaxed family meals on the open-air terrace.

The Cotentin Manor

With the grassy beaches of the English Channel less than five minutes away, hold onto your hats when breathing in the fresh sea air. This ultra-modern home in Normandy is all sleek edges, soothing shades of pebble grey, and black iron bannisters. Gather on the lux leather sofa for a movie night, and host huge family meals at the dining table set for ten. Spend days on the terrace surrounded by perfectly groomed lawns and heat up the barbecue whilst you enjoy your aperitif under the parasol. There’s even a Scandi-style desk set up on the landing inside – handy if you need to catch up on work. In the morning, head out to to the boulangeries of this seaside town, just a short walk away. There’s a long, sandy beach and plenty of ice cream shops along the shore for a proper seaside escape. 

Surf and turf

This coastal home is located in a rural spot, whilst also offering a ton of activities for the family. Whether you choose to gather for a meal at the sunlit dining table indoors or tuck into an alfresco dish on the patio, there's plenty of room to spend some quality time with your loved ones. This home gets a gorgeous amount of daylight through the windows, lighting up the space to accompany you as you spend the afternoon relaxing around the house. Put your feet up as you watch TV or have a duvet day while you dive into a new book.

The beach is only a short walk away from the property, as the coastline stretches far past home – the perfect backdrop for an energising run or power walk. Within fifteen–minutes you'll come across some delicious eateries, as well as a nearby bakery and even a cafe to sip on some freshly brewed coffee with a sweet slice of cake. This destination is a pleasant change from the usual hustle and bustle of Paris, giving you the chance to see the more rural side of France.

After spending the day at the beach, head home to cook up a meal on the outdoor barbeque and while away the hours in the verdant garden under the glow of the evening sky – listen to the serene silence as the day draws to a close.

Mustard Coast

Almost 400 years after it was first built, and Lord of the Pines is still wowing guests. You may be pulling up the drive by car rather than horse-drawn carriage, but the magic remains the same; perhaps literally, as there’s a tree on the property that’s rumoured to be enchanted. Regardless of any magic trees, this château will quickly cast its spell over you; antique furniture and all the mod cons sit amongst beautifully restored interior furniture, while the sprawling grounds are home to ancient stone crosses, sun-dappled woodland, and even a tennis court. The home’s guardian is on hand to whip up some gourmet meals, there are complimentary bikes to take a tour of the surrounding area and even a library hidden away in the tower. When can we move in? 

Lord of the Pines

Air Conditioning

This traditional stone home has a surprise in store. Far from the old world vibe you may be expecting, inside it's modern and chic – and perfectly equipped for your stay on the Normandy coast. On fine days, enjoy breakfast in the courtyard, then unwind on a sun lounger with your holiday read. On cooler days, there's always the cosy conservatory to retreat to. Just don't get too comfortable – there's plenty to explore in the local area. The village of Créances is on the edge of the Cotentin and Bessin marshes regional park, a beautiful landscape of wetlands and windswept dunes. You're also just a short drive from Pritania beach. Enjoy a picnic on the sand, then drive into Coutances to admire the Gothic cathedral. Back at your home, light up the barbecue as the sun goes down and enjoy a meal outside.

Country Stone

If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime stay, look no further than The History Book. From the kooky interiors by leading European designers to the sheer size of the castle and grounds, everything about this home screams excess. Stooped in history, this castle has a drawing room, billiards room, games room, music room and library – and that’s just inside. Once outside, on the 6 hectares of private land, you’ll find a tennis court, swimming pool, children’s play house and several out buildings. Despite its grandeur, The History Book will feel like home thanks to the thoughtful staff and warm atmosphere.
