Normandy Bed & Breakfast

Dating back to the early 1700's this recently refurbished farmhouse is set in an acre of ground and provides a haven of tranquillity within the Normandy countryside.

Well appointed ensuite bedrooms, reading area and comfortable lounge are the base for your holiday. Outside, a quiet terrace provides an area to relax, enjoy the views and plan your walks along the sunken lanes of the Bocage landscape.

The local area boasts an abundance of wildlife including badgers, deer, hares and even wild boar. Resident birds close to the property include barn owls, woodpeckers and many birds of prey.

In addition to rural attractions, the area is close to beaches, beautiful historic towns and has excellent road and rail links.

Your hosts Alan and Carol with many years' experience of France will provide you with good food and accommodation plus an insight into the local area. Alan, a qualified historian and keen naturalist can also provide tours that piece together the story of D-Day and beyond.

Alan, your host, is a qualified teacher and historian who specialises in organising tours ('D-Day Footsteps') of the D-Day beaches and the areas of Normandy subsequently liberated by US and Allied troops.

Alan also runs a successful tour oriented website with a wealth of information & contacts at his disposal you need look no further for expert advice on this subject.

St Vigor des Monts and surrounding villages stood in the path of the US 29th Division that landed at Omaha Beach on 6 June 1944.

Much has been written of the difficulties faced by the tanks and infantry pushing south through the sunken lanes and hedges of the Normandy bocage, clearing the occupying troops from towns and villages until they were forced through the Falaise Pocket at the end of August.

Tours are organised on an individual basis for one, two or three days.

Further details are available on request.

Assistance may also be provided for visitors seeking to locate particular battlefields, war graves or other places of personal interest.
