The city of Bayeux with its cathedral, restaurants, market, boutiques and hypermarkets is well worth a visit.

French Country Living

Phil B Bayville, Nassau ,USA
Review Submitted: November 6, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
If country living in Normandy is your wish then look no further, this is the place to rent. This cottage is as good as it looks, it's very comfortable and the layout is excellent. Downstairs you have a living room with fireplace and two comfortable couches. A dining area with table and chairs, a very good kitchen with all of the required items and a bathroom. Upstairs there are two bedrooms at each end of the hallway with the bathroom in between, both room are spacious.

The discription on the website was very accurate and the cottage was spotlessly clean. The owner lives nearby and was extremely helpful and very friendly. Language was not a problem since the owner was English. I would recommend this property to all of my friends and family.

There are many places to visit in the immediate area and the amount of history is overwhelming. There is a small town nearby for bread, pastry, meat and other essential items. Bayeux is 20 kilometers from the cottage and a very easy ride. There are numerous restaurants in the town and plenty of stores to shop in and buy all of those essential gifts. Many of the areas attractions are less then an hour from the cottage, Mont St Michelle, all of the D-day beaches, Caen and Bayeux. Caen is a large town with the war museum, cathedral and many other attractions. The regional foods and seafood were the best (mussels & snails). One of the best restaurants in Bayeux was the Bistro Paris in the upper square also on the road to Bayeux from the cottage was a truck stop restaurant with excellent food and good service. The people in Normandy were some of the most friendly and engaging I've ever met.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding our stay and the cottage.
