Discover your own French fairytale in this picturesque chateau, nestled in the Calvados department of rural Normandy and steeped in rich history. Whether you're seeking a restful holiday filled with tranquillity, sunshine and birdsong, or you're looking for something a little more adventurous, you're in the right place. Head out to the orchard to pick apples and cook up a storm with local produce in the perfectly equipped kitchen. Large windows bring the sunlight into this home so even if you're lounging in the living area or having a late morning in bed, you can appreciate the surrounding countryside views and fresh air like a comforting blanket. At dusk, sit out in the garden and pour out a glass of local calvados, and let the conversation flow as the stars come out. Stop off for breakfast croissants and home-baked pastries at the nearby village, where you can pick up other essentials for cooking or grab a bite at a local restaurant. Whether you explore the hilly landscapes and woodland by hiking, horse-riding or by bike, you'll find yourself surrounded by endless natural beauty and opportunities for adventure. Drive to the charming town of Clécy where you can hire canoes and small... boats for water sports on the River Orne. History lovers can make a day of visiting the D-Day Landing beaches or William the Conqueror's castle, before returning to gather by the fireplace for a cosy evening.

About France
You could easily take a lifetime’s worth of French holidays and still feel like you haven’t scratched the nation’s surface. The most visited country in the world, France has long inspired artists, revolutionaries, dreamers, and bons vivants with its storybook landscapes, artistic treasures, and cultural idiosyncrasies. Paris is, of course, the country’s glittering centrepiece but there are countless beauty spots worth discovering outside of the City of Light. Sun yourself...

This home is managed by Oliver
