Home description

Situated off a gravelled chemin, (bridle path) only used by occasional walkers and horse riders, this beautiful split level is let either as a three or a five bedroom holiday home, and has been rebuilt on the site of the old Moulin de Parfouru, situated some 17 km south of Bayeux in the old world Hamlet of Parfouru l’eclin, and only twenty minutes by car to the many golden sandy beaches of the department area of Normandy.

Incorporating a very large garden it is very safe for children, and a wonderful retreat to relax in, and enjoy the many old world features of this part of Normandy of which growing cider apple trees and the making, of the cider, features heavily in the locals seasonal schedules.

Le Moulin has been a summer holiday let for some fifteen years, and the owners have lived in France for the same period. This is their main home, moving out in the summer mainly between July and August, consequently it is a much higher standard than the usual run of the mill gite which can in some cases (but not all) be renovated by unskilled workers to a low standard.
