L'Etang details

Home description

The cottage has the best of both worlds – an in the middle of nowhere feeling, but with the benefit of being a 5 minute walk from the village of Cerisy La Foret, which has a bar/restaurant, bakery, general store, butchers, post office, bank with cashpoint machine and a pharmacy.

Cerisy la Foret nestles on the edge of Cerisy Forest which has woodland paths for walking, cycling or pony riding. The cottage also has english satellite TV and a DVD player with a selection of DVD's, so you can keep up to date with UK affairs if you wish. There is a log fire, if you want to just curl up and forget the outside world exists.

About the location

The abbey of Cerisy La Foret is a remarkable example of Norman Romanesque architecture. The earliest mention of this abbey dates back to the 6C when Christianity was beginning to spread throughout Gaul. Around 510, Vigor, a missionary from Bessin had a monastery built at Cerisy and dedicated it to St Peter and St Paul. In 1032 Robert I of Normandy, the father of William the Conqueror, founded a new monastery which he dedicated to Vigor, former bishop of Bayeux.
