Charming holiday cottages to rent in southern Normandy, near Domfront - Le Fournil Reviews

Le Fournil is in quiet rural location, possibly remote by some standards, and offers everything you need for a relaxed break. The most curious internal feature is the old bread oven. Your hosts have an extensive local knowledge and are wonderfully helpful and thoughtful. Help was on hand to sort out both a flat tyre on our car and to track down somewhere that we could buy new pedals for one of our bikes! Not your average holiday mishap. The local town of Ceaucé is charming and has the most wonderful boulangerie from where breakfast croissants can be had. Further afield is the medieval town of Domfront where we were fortunate enough to enjoy a medieval fair, with knights on horseback parading through the town and archery stands where would be archers could try their skill. Further afield you can strike out for the coast at Mont St Michel should you wish to, though it is a full day trip. As would be heading further in land to the museum at Le Mans. There is plenty to do in and around the region and Le Fournil offers the ideal base for exploring Basse Normandie.
