THE AREA

  Southern Normandy

 


Three self catering country cottages available for holiday rentals in Normandy, France.

The properties 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.

The cottages are located in the Normandy Maine Regional Park, which is noted for its forests and bocage countryside - small fields, woods, hedgerows and orchards.

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 peaceful countryside 4kms from Ranes. Impressive chateaux, typical Normandy villages and lakes are nearby. Newly renovated for Summer 2008.
