Luxury Normandy Holiday Gite Accommodation, Near Falaise, France - Almé Reviews

Ease of access to this amazing part of France from Paris and England and the very easy driving really worked for us.

We loved making closer connections with some of the key events and personalities in both English and French history – medieval and modern – such as William the Conqueror, Eleanor of Aquitaine, the Normandy landings in WW2. Seventh heaven if you’re a history buff.

The perfect rural setting of the Haras du Gazon made it an ideal place to relax after our busy days of sightseeing and sampling the local fare, which was another highlight of our visit. Be warned – lashings of butter, cream, cheeses not to mention cider and calvados. We found that long walks in the countryside seemed to ward off any consequences!

Adding to the rural ambience, the property functions as a horse stud (breeding show jumpers), and being able to look at these gorgeous animals on a daily basis was something that we really enjoyed (even though we’re not horse aficionados.)

Conclusion? Highly recommended.
