3 Beautiful Waterside Holiday Gites Near Campeaux in Calvados, Normandy, France Reviews

Once again I managed to find a place that was what it appeared to be in the advert! Arriving at night in the darkness the first impression we had was the presence of the river making itself known tumbling over the weir, it was the soundtrack to four lovely tranquil days at Le Moulin l'Eveque. Our time there was short so we didn't venture very far, we wanted to enjoy the unique setting and just relax so we paced ourselves with the river. We paddled the owners canoe gently up stream or just sat and watched out for the bright blue flash of the Kingfishers on the river highway. They even perched right in beside our window. Our little studio Gite had windows on two sides that opened onto river views under two great weeping willow trees so we kept them open for the sound of the weir and the birds in the trees when we were inside, but most of the time we spent outside, just being outside, by a river in a green place. It rained while we were there, but the romantic in me just saw the gloss on the trees and the ripples on the water and then the sun shone again and all was well with the world. Anyway the Barn was there, wide open on one side so we still felt we were outdoors but under a shelter if there was a shower, we played table tennis and listened to Johnny's cds and sipped wine and as the sun went down we heard the barn owls and the river and all was well with the world.

Johnny and Lynn made us feel welcome as if they had know us from before. They provide a tranquil haven in which to recharge the soul and de-clutter the mind and yet it's just a short hop from the motorway, the bakery, the supermarket..........
