| DESCRIPTION |
|
La Clergerie is a traditional 'mas et pierre' Normandy farmhouse built in 1706 and retains many original features. It is set within a designated area of outstanding natural beauty - the Marais National Park on the Cotentin Peninsular of north-west Normandy,with easy access to Paris the UK and the Channel Islands.
Early risers will be surprised by pretty sunrises and the flight of deer across the valley on summer mornings.
The region, while offering a fine range of facilities for the discerning traveller is relatively unexplored. Yet we are close to some of the finest and cleanest beaches in North West Europe, with pretty resorts a short drive to the west, including the family resort of Agon Coutainville, the cosmopolitan resort of Granville, the fortified sea port of St. Malo and the holy island of Mont St. Michel, still visited by pilgrims today. The beaches are sand-dune lined and to the west open around salt marshes sanctuaries full of wild life.
A short trip to the east takes you to the famous D.Day landing beaches, the moving US military cemetry at Colville-sr-Mer,with easy access to Bayeaux and its historic tapestry, and Caen where you can visit the stunning Peace Memorial Exhibition.
William the Conqueror was born at Falaise just to the South, and there are many beautiful chateaux and abbeys to explore both on the coast and along the Vire valley.
Guests can eat with us in the evening, or choose from many good sea food restaurants, which use locally caught produce. This includes high grade oysters harvested from our beaches. Or why not join local families on a Sunday outing as they dig at low tide for clams and shell fish for supper.
We offer our guests the run of the house and our gardens. Our main aim is to make your stay as enjoyable as possible, and we are happy to arrange any special celebrations or meals during your stay. |
