Normandy Tour

Allen & Judy Yarker, ON Canada
Review Submitted: September 18, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Our original plans called for two couples to share accomodations at La Vigne however unforeseen circumstances caused our travelling friends to cancel their trip to France. Thus we had the cottage to ourselves for our week tour of Normandy. This made the accomodations very spaceous and comfortable for just the two of us.
The cottage is rustic (as one could expect for a 300 yr old farm house) but very adequate and well equipped for a great home away from home. The location is ideal if you like rural settings and we do. Also we found La Vigne a perfect central point from which we could day trip to all the site we wanted to see. After a day of sight-seeing it was a pleasure to return to the cottage for a quiet drink and reflection on the back patio.
The closest village for good provisions is a short car ride away so make sure come stocked your initial essentials. Grocery shopping can be done daily at a number of close by villages.
Overall we enjoyed our stay at the cottage (even the rooster) with very few complaints.
