Four self catering country properties available for holiday rentals in Normandy, France.
The first three properties listed below are situated in the beautiful countryside of Southern Orne, Normandy. This area has many cultural and historical places of interest. Medieval towns, chateaux, local markets are close by, as well as opportunities for many outdoor activities. These three cottages are located in the Normandy Maine Regional Park, which is noted for its forests and bocage countryside - small fields, woods, hedgerows and orchards. The fourth property, La Pommeraye, is located further North in Manche with easy access to the beaches around Granville.
Le Boisgontier is situated in a small hamlet in the countryside south of Domfront, with the department of Mayenne only 3km to the south. Its location offers easy access to a variety of outdoor activities in the area, as well as being close to a number of pretty villages and historic towns.
L’Etre Bidault lies on the edge of the Foret d'Andaines, which stretches for over ten miles and is full of wildlife including red squirrels and red deer. There are miles of walks and forest tracks, ideal for cycling. The nearby Orne and Mayenne rivers provide plenty of fishing and canoeing opportunities.
La Noe is set in a small hamlet in peaceful countryside, 4kms from the market town of Ranes. Impressive chateaux, typical Normandy villages and lakes are nearby. An ideal base for horseriding and fishing.
La Pommeraye is located on the edge of a quiet country village, less than 15 minutes drive from the beautiful sandy beaches around Granville. A superb location for those who want to enjoy both the Normandy countryside and the seaside.
Our properties offer visitors a higher level of comfort than is found in most gites. Each house provides independent, spacious and well equipped accommodation. For those who are looking for something a little more special, have a look at the accommodation options at Le Boisgontier. For larger families/groups La Pommeraye is the perfect choice.

Pet friendly accommodation
We are happy to welcome pets to our properties (with the exception of La Pommeraye). Since the introduction of the Pet Passport scheme, we have seen a yearly increase in the number of clients bringing their pets on holiday to France with them. Our properties, being situated in rural locations, close to forests and countryside offer easy access to interesting and varied walks for dog owners.
Apart from welcoming pets for one or two week holidays, we have also had dog guests for longer term rentals over winter. The properties have also been popular with dog owners relocating to the UK from outside Europe, who have wanted to avoid quarantine by spending time in France with their pets instead.
