Photos and Description of the Orne vacation cottage rental STUNNING VIEWS to horizon all round. Total peace but 3 min from main road.

Cottage for two set in deep countryside surrounded by fields and woods to horizon. Only 4 min from main N12 road to Paris. A rural area of lakes and forests scattered with delectable villages and towns. The people are incredibly friendly here. One hour from Chartres, and Monet's garden at Giverny. One hour fifteen min from Le Mans, Versailles or Paris. Summer here is usually hot but not unbearably so, and the Spring and Autumn long and warm. Off-road tracks for walking, riding or biking are everywhere and Center Parks, with golfing facilities is ten minutes up the road. People come here to find tranquility and unwind from the stress of their daily lives and return home refreshed, having found the time too short to explore all that is here. This is not a big holiday area, you see life as lived by the French going about their normal pastimes, who are only too happy for you to join in their fete days etc. The local towns have pools and sports facilities for the active.

Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Orne, France

Guest booked is well-filled with satisfied clients: The cycling here is magnificent. No traffic problems and hundreds of kilometres of quiet roads passing through ravishing scenery and villages. Horse riding is available 10 min up the road, our own two mares being now 28 and 30 years old and not used for visitors. For walkers, you simply walk out the garden onto tracks that can take you as far as Mont St Michel or the south of France if you wish. Painters and artists find many subjects within a stone's throw of our own property. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Hidden maagic: ThIs is an area that people often rush through on their way further south. This has saved the region for the local very friendly French population and for the more discerning visitors. Next time stay in the region instead of tearing through on the motorway. You will be enchanted by what you find. Just about all our visitors fall in love with the area.

Other Activities: Good selection of bikes kept for visitor's use.

Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
Darren & David, Leeds. thank you for the warm welcome. Les Letumières is such a lovely, relaxing retreat and a great base to explore from. The log fire has been wonderful to return to after our trips.

Adam & Celia Edingurgh. Thank you for your hospitality during our relaxing week away, just what the doctor ordered! We enjoyed the rustic charms of the cottage and the peace and quiet (And of course, Hugo! (dog)).
Our tip, take the back roads! Some lovely small villages are hidden not too far! Thanks again, Adam & Cee.

Cynthia, Southampton. Wonderful and knowledgeable hosts! The scenery is unforgettable. A great cottage to relax and let the world go by. Would come and stay here again!

Kev & Lyn, Gillingham. What a fantastic place you have here. Weather was great for breakfast and dinner on the terrace, heaven for us. Thanks for your kindness during our stay. The jazz evening was great & everyone so friendly. Give our love to M. Opera singer. Hugs for Hugo.
