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

Boasting quintessential French coastal charm, this quaint cottage in Langrune-sur-Mer invites guests to enjoy a seaside escape less than a kilometre away from the beach. 

Original features, including exposed stone walls and wooden beams, inject heaps of character into the space that is otherwise dressed in neutral tones and contemporary designs. We love the unique aquamarine corner sofa – which makes the perfect perching spot and somewhere to put your feet up after a day's adventures in Normandy. Meanwhile, the courtyard outside presents an idyllic spot for picnics and quiet afternoons reading in the sunshine. 

Stroll down to the coastal shores of the beach in just a few minutes, where you'll pass bars, shops and restaurants to make the most of in the local amenities too. The perfect location for wandering around or going on bike rides, the laid-back way of life here will have you feeling refreshed in no time. And with a variety of outdoor activities available, why not try your hand at sailing, fishing, windsurfing, paddleboarding or horse riding? 




Coastal Wandering

This Norman farmhouse has been impeccably renovated to create a private and contemporary oasis. The quaint timbered exterior has been preserved, while the inside is tastefully designed to blend rustic with modern. Exposed brickwork, natural wooden floors and stone walls characterise each room, while the sleek, high-spec kitchen and modern bathroom with ambient lighting add an updated twist. The house is set on 1.7 acres of land, meaning you’ll have plenty of privacy. You're surrounded by beauty here –wander through the pretty landscaped gardens and head down one of the winding paths to admire the bucolic scenery.  

The large heated 14x4m pool means you can enjoy year-round fun, and there’s an outdoor shower to rinse off in before curling up on a deck chair. The kids will have endless fun running around in the gardens, playing ping pong, and making use of the two bikes. On rainy days they can retreat to the games room, where there’s plenty of board games. 

You are well placed to explore all the delights of the Pays d’Auge region – the village of Honfleur is a fifteen-minute drive away, with its picture-perfect harbour and expansive sandy beach. For the daily shop, there’s a small village near the house which is reachable on foot. On Tuesday mornings drive seven minutes to the farmers’ market in Beuzeville, where you can pick up some local produce and enjoy an alfresco lunch back at home. 

The Norman Farmhouse

Nestled in the countryside of Normandy, this characterful home is a rural retreat with fireside armchairs, exposed wood beams, and a winding staircase. As well as the outdoor dining table, you'll have access to a shared swimming pool in the summer months. However, the sloped ceilings and connected bedrooms in the attic may be a better fit for kids than couples. Make sure you hire a car and plan a drive to Caen, thirty minutes away. Feel like a beach day instead? Take a road trip to the Plage de Cabourg, just twenty minutes by car.

The Maison Blanche

Overlooking the bay of Cancale, soak up majestic sea views from every room of this home located just 800 metres away from Saussaye Beach. On a clear day, the views even stretch as far as the islands of Chausey and the iconic Mont St Michel. 

The perfect getaway for a family and those travelling with children, the home presents a large space area which frames the view like a piece of artwork at the centre of the room. Gaze out at the stillness of the sea from the window seat, and you might even wind up in a meditative state. You'll also find a cosy reading corner which invites you to select a book from the home library. 

Open up the French doors leading out onto the spectacular terrace area where the group can gather around the alfresco dining area for barbecues by the sea. When the weather is kind, what better than a spot of sunbathing on the loungers in a prime position of those glistening views? 

With a dormitory-style bedroom with six single beds, the children will enjoy sharing a room on one giant sleepover. Meanwhile, the garden shed equipped with games and bicycles will keep the whole family occupied for hours. 

After fun-filled days on the beach (you'll be just a few minutes away from the most beautiful beaches of the Emerald Coast here), the home sauna awaits for some blissful moments of relaxation. Of course, even from the sauna – you won't miss a moment away from the stunning sea view. 

An ideal base for exploring Britanny and the likes of Mont St Michel, Port Mer Beach (900 metres away) and the beach of Le Verger La Pointe du Grouin – found a fifteen-minute walk away. 



Stillness of the Sea

Standing proudly surrounded by gorgeous green parkland and with a large enclosed garden, this stunning manor in Audouville-la-Hubert promises a holiday to remember. Drive through the stone archways on your approach, and you’ll be mesmerised by this grand home-away-from-home, which is quite the striking sight before you. Step inside and it doesn’t disappoint – classic features jump out at you from every angle. Original floorboards peek out from underneath stylish rugs, feature fireplaces delight in many of the rooms, with beautiful wainscoting finishing off the overall look. If your idea of an afternoon well-spent is getting lost in a book, the library on the top floor is sure to be your idea of bliss.

As the French sun bathes the home in its warm light, step out onto your terrace and settle down on a sun lounger. Surrounded by nature, the tranquillity of this location won’t be lost on you. To the backdrop of birdsong, you could find yourself dozing underneath the sun’s warming rays. As evening beckons, head to your summer kitchen and fire up the barbecue. Gather your loved ones around the table and enjoy a delicious dinner and a bottle of fine French wine, as the slanting rays of the setting sun give a warm orange tinge to the sky. You won’t find a more peaceful way to end the day. 

The Magic of the Manor

A stone's throw from the sandy beaches of Cancale, in the picture-pretty bay of Port Mer, this charming home offers the very best of coastal living. Boasting a gorgeous garden with plenty of cosy spots to sit down and breathe in the salty sea air, start your days with coffee on the lawn while watching the boats sail by. 

If you want to see the ocean up close, the beach is less than 1km away – take a walk down to the golden sands to discover what the famous Emerald Coast has to offer. When you're feeling peckish, Cancale oysters are a must-try. Head to one of the local restaurants or buy some from the Mont Saint-Michel oyster market and take them home to prepare yourself. We highly recommend an alfresco dinner on the terrace, washed down with a glass of French wine. When you're finished, head up to the terrace to watch the sunset – the waterfront views have to be seen to be believed. 

When darkness falls, head inside to cuddle up on the sumptuous sofa to watch a movie. If you're travelling with little ones, the mezzanine level dens are the perfect place for a bedtime story to make sure they settle in for a good night's sleep. 

Emerald Coast of Cancale

Settle into this beautiful little home in the charming and historical commune of Ver-sur-Mer, Normandy. Sit out on the terrace with a good book or a drink and enjoy the lush green garden, or sink into one of the sofas and get cosy. With three distinctly-decorated bedrooms with their own themes – jungle, travel, and romantic bohemian – the hardest decision you'll make on your trip will be who gets to sleep where. Whichever you choose, you'll have a beautiful and comfortable space to rest your head each night. In the morning, start your day with a good breakfast whipped up in the charming farmhouse-style kitchen, equipped with everything you need whether you're making something tried-and-true, or having a go at one of the local dishes. Joue de bœuf, anyone?

There's plenty to discover and enjoy in the village of Ver-sur-Mer. You'll be in close proximity to all necessities – pop down to the supermarket and grab some essentials, or treat yourself to a treat at the bakery. Head down to the old restored lighthouse to visit a piece of history, or head out on the seas at the sailing club. You'll be less than 1 kilometre away from the nearest beach, so it would be a crime not to head down and enjoy a walk with loved ones across the warm sands as the waves lap at the shore. Whatever you want to get out of your trip, this home will ensure you're in the heart of it all.

Across the Map of Stormy Seas

This chateau in Normandy is bursting with old-world charm. Built by the original owner in the 19th century as a wedding present for his wife, it has been lovingly restored in recent years. While historic features like the elegant façade, grand rooms and antique French floor tiles have been preserved, the basement has been converted into a haven for fun and relaxation. The curved brick rooms are now home to a cinema room, a pool table, and a fitness suite. Meanwhile upstairs retains its 19th-century splendour through antique furniture, original fireplaces, and oak panelled walls. 

Set within an 18-hectare estate, there are beautiful spots to while away the days. Relax on the lawn with a book or sip calvados on the charming château terrace. On sunny days, whip up lunch on the barbecue while the children have fun in the play area. There are over 300 apple and pear trees in the fruit orchard, and beautiful walking trails through the estate’s woodland, with sprawling views of Normandy countryside, which you can explore on foot or on the bikes at the house. 

The area is surrounded by picturesque villages and scenery. The historic town of Gournay-en-Bray is a five-minute drive away, where you can pick up local produce at the twice-weekly market for a picnic. The Forêt de Lyons can be reached in twenty minutes by car, where you can practise a range of outdoor adventures, or simply walk through the winding woodland trails. 

Chateau des Bois

This incredibly charming 18th-century manor house, tucked away in the beautiful Normandy countryside, has stood since 1762 and now welcomes family and friends to experience the tranquillity of the estate. Modernised since, it features bold and vibrant design choices that haven't compromised the historic elements like the exposed beams or the statement hearth in the dining space. The sloped ceilings might not agree with taller guests, but it isn't persistent throughout the home and with a healthy acreage at your disposal outside, you can stretch and stroll to your heart's desire. 

A Chant of Serenity

Set on 125 acres of lush parkland, this palatial home blends history with modern features to ensure that you live comfortably within its storied walls. Start your morning with a complimentary breakfast before taking a walk around the manicured gardens. You may even take a book and a thermos and sit down to read for an hour when you come across a spot you particularly like. With some luck, you might spot one of the deer that roam freely here. 

Spend days in and around the private outdoor or indoor pools and if there’s a particular knot in your shoulder that won’t let go in the hot tub, book yourself in for a stress-relieving massage in the spa room. Feeling far more relaxed, you can find your flow with yoga practice before an endorphin-boosting session in the sauna. 

Wander the halls of the château where Marie-Antoinette’s brother, Emperor Joseph II, stayed in the late 18th century and dream about what else has taken place between the four walls. To help your imagination, you might host your own candle-lit costume ball, taking drinks in the drawing room before. 

Practice piano scales, dine alfresco, picnic on the lawn, or come together in the cinema room for a private screening of your favourite movie. If you can stomach leaving this elegant and comfortable home for even a bit, you can head to Normandy’s beaches, only minutes away.

Joseph's Château

Looking out over the historic heart of the Saint-Léonard district of Honfleur from its rooftop location up on the third floor, this charming apartment can accommodate six people. On entry, you'll be greeted by a beautifully illuminated space with plenty of skylights embedded in the sloping ceilings. The open-plan living room and kitchen is an enticing mix of old and new, with a sleek kitchen and modern furnishings sitting beneath original exposed beams. The bedrooms are more classically contemporary, with ceilings that slope down from sky-high to almost floor level, which adds some design interest. Honfleur has long been a favourite with France's most famous painters, including Monet. Nowadays, this charming old port town is a popular day-trip destination for weary Parisians looking to escape the city for a long weekend. With spades of rugged maritime charm, the Vieux Bassin (Old Harbour) evokes a Normandy that was lost long ago.
