Brigitte & Kevin
L'Orchard is a typical Norman "colombages" dwelling of the early 19th century - although the ground level facade dates from just before the French revolution. The main building was once part of a large manor farm and it, plus the other buildings, were used to make cheese and cider. It has obviously been added to over the years, and since we bought the property, we have endeavoured to provide 21st century comfort and facilities Much of the facade is original and as a ½ timbered wattle & daub structure, has some interesting beams and architectural features. The position of the house is exceptional; enjoying superb views across the village and countryside. Our surrounding land of 2 hectares, all of which is South facing, gives us all-day sun to benefit the terraces, pathways and fruit trees - yours to enjoy. The terrain is visited regularly by foxes and rabbits, and occasionally by deer. Luckily, our cat and dog are quite happy to share their territory with all the local wildlife, as well as our human guests!
We are a British- French couple (wonderful combination!), both retired early from our respective occupations, and both having benefitted from those positions allowing us extensive foreign travel. We have now settled here in Normandy, and are profitting from the landscape, cuisine, climate and friendliness of this picturesque region - and we would welcome you to share it with us.
Bonneville la Louvet is at the heart of the "Pays d'Auge" (literally, the land of the manger), and is a historical reference to the extent of the dairy farming that has existed here, and thus the milk, cream and cheese for which Normandy is so renowned. In addition, apples and pears have provided the second culinary delights of cider, pommeau and calvados, all of which are also in abundance. The coast is only 35 minutes away and extends from historical Honfleur to the D-Day beaches. The glamour of Deauville; the sand-yachts and fossils of Villers sur Mer; the horse racing at Deauville; St Arnault and Lisieux are all close-by. Caen, Bayeux and Rouen are all within an hour's travel. We are surrounded by quaint villages; thatched cottages; tumbling streams - the countryside is lush. The seaside is wide, calm and varied. Come and share this unique combination!
