Photos and Description of the Manche vacation house rental 6 large bedrooms, 3 full baths. Up to 12 persons. Traditional Cuisine Available.

Year after year families and groups of friends can enjoy the privacy, space and charm of our restored early-18th century farmhouse 'La Porte Rouge' located near the small village of Auvers, 5km from Carentan at the base of the Cotentin Peninsula. You will find its comfort and privacy both a relaxing refuge for a family holiday and a convenient base for exploring this charming region of France. Many enticing attractions are within easy reach: the D-Day landing beaches, World War II museums at Ste Mère Eglise, Mont Saint-Michel and the Bayeux Tapestry. Sports such as horseback riding, bicycling, tennis, golf, fishing, swimming and sailing are available nearby. The beaches are very safe and quite beautiful: there are long stretches of sand dunes on which one can walk for miles. When the weather is clear it is really an impressionistic painting. The house is beautifully furnished with traditional Norman furniture; a lady of the village is at your disposal for cooking delicious meals!

Great Place for Cyclists in La Manche

Dave-and-Clea Golden, Colorado, USA
Review Submitted: April 7, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
We rented La Porte Rouge for a 2 week family vacation. There were 8 of us and we still had an unused bedroom! This is a huge beautiful house. The house is renovated enough to provide all the modern conveniences but still has all of its original Norman charm. The kitchen and dining area are perfect if you need to feed a gang. The front lawn is large enough for kids to play soccer.

While most of the family went sight seeing, my wife and I spent most of our time cycling on the Voie Vertes (Green Belts) in the area. The primary east-west path (an old railroad grade) is less than 100 meters from the entrance to the property. Carentan is only 3 miles away on the path and the west coast of the Cotentan is about 15 miles. The trail system connects to Le Mont St Michele, Cherbourg, and trails in Suisse Normandie. It is better suited for mountain and hybrid bikes than road bikes.

Overall, this is the perfect place for those seeking a real country experience in Normandy and especially cyclists.

For foodies: Carentan market day is Monday - great artisan dairy and bakery products. Ouistreham has a daily fish market - bit of a drive (~1hour) but worth it (go early); catches may very. Butchers in Carentan are good - veal is superb. Calvados near the turn off to the house is excellent - 10 year old is very well balanced.
