Holiday Gites in Normandy

Christmas 2011

We will be happy to quote for a customised Christmas Break - see below for example, NYE

New Year's Eve

Four nights from Friday 30th December, traditional 4 course Roast Turkey Dinner on New Year's Day plus 2 evening meals (4 courses) and 1 Buffet, Continental Breakfast each morning except NYD, for 400€ for 2 adults.

All meals served at our Table except for the Buffet, ideal for groups of up to 6 wanting to celebrate together, drinks extra (we can supply a Wine List), sample menus upon request but expect local Lamb and Pork, eg Pork Fillet en Croute with Apricot Sauce.

Spring and Autumn Breaks/ Special Offers

We want to encourage people to visit Normandy in the Spring months of April and May, and in the Autumn when October is usually still pleasant and warm. 

April and May are often very nice (we had a heatwave this year, 2011) - comparable to the South Coast of England.  And of course you can explore the many interesting places we have here in Normandy without the hassle of the summer crowds.

Anyone who has visited Mont Saint Michel in the height of summer, unless having taken our advice to go early morning or late afternoon, will really appreciate the much more relaxed tour of the Abbey and winding pathways when it is not heaving with coachloads of tourists!  It really makes a huge difference to the experience, to be able to see all of the fascinating architecture.

The local towns are much quieter, but market days are still bustling with the locals.  Restaurants and cafes are quicker to serve you, and of course there is less traffic on the roads than in July and August.  Although traffic is one thing you dont have to worry about in Normandy!  The roads are a delight.  And of course the ferry crossings are that much cheaper.

Short breaks in April and May

Subject to availability, we can often offer Short Breaks as an alternative to a full holiday.  Calculate the cost of these at £45 per night, so £135 for a three night stay and £180 for four nights

Short breaks October 2011 to April 2012

Consider a cosy 3 night catered break for a truly relaxing and worry-free holiday.

3 nights B&B, 3 evening meals*, 225€ for 2 adults.

*Friday evening meal prepared and left ready for you in your Gite, Saturday & Sunday meals served 'Table d'Hote' in our Barn

Easter 2012
