La Noëtte - Normandy Accommodation

Our beautiful 400 year old farmhouse is surrounded by mature gardens and the beautiful French countryside. We very much look forward to welcoming you. La Noette will provide you with a peaceful setting in which to enjoy this beautiful part of Normandie. Both our properties have been refurbished this year and offer clean comfortable accommodation. You will have full use of the gardens as a place to

sit and read during the day or a place to enjoy a barbecue and a glass of wine in the evenings. We are close to two villages both of which have bars, supermarkets and all basic amenities. The historic town of Saint Lo is 15 km away. Other main towns and cities are listed below with their distance from La Noette. The seaside town of Granville is one hour away and there you can visit the museum of Christian Dior. Bayeux - visit the beautiful Cathedral of Notre Dame and the famous 70 metre long Bayeux Tapestry which tells the story of William the Conqueror's invasion of England and the Battle of Hastings. Again, only an hour's drive. The UNESCO world heritage site of Mont Saint Michel can be reached in one hour and 15 minutes. Caen- City of William the Conqueror is one hour away from La Noette. Attractions in Caen include:-

The Caen Memorial Museum - this peace memorial is a must-see for any visitor to Normandie. It is a moving, emotionally-charged museum, giving you an hour-by-hour account of D-Day. It also recalls the high price paid for freedom and the fragility of peace. Caen Castle - one of the largest medieval fortresses of Western Europe and built by William the Conqueror in around 1060. The Jardin des Plantes - a beatiful botanical haven for over three centuries. The Grand Bunker - Atlantic Wall Museum is a stark reminder of the obstacles which the Allied troops faced as they landed on the Normandy beaches. The Grand Bunker was the German Headquarters for this stretch of the defences and, now restored, it has become an important museum. The Normandy Beaches are just a stone's throw away from Caen, and every visitor to the area must surely make their way at least once to one of the most important European sites in modern history.
