About the location

The hamlet of Guehebert is approximately a mile from the nearest village, Roncey, which comfortably caters for most basic needs, including a post office, bakery, butcher's, pharmacy and a grocer's plus a weekly open-air market.  The small Cathedral city of Coutances, (about 7 miles beyond Roncey) provides a more extensive range of products and seasonal activities including festivals, concerts, cinema, theatre and art exhibitions. The most noteworthy events include the yearly, week-long Jazz festival in May, and the August Festival of French Period Costumes, Instruments and Produce.

The surrounding historic châteaux, churches, museums and monuments provide endless treasures for the tireless art historian.  In the aftermath of the Overlord D-Day commemoration, local museum are now equipped with permanent state-of-the-art multi-media exhibitions. For the botanist there are numerous flower gardens and displays, complimenting the unspoilt, verdant hedgerows of this cider producing, dairy-farming region.   Whilst for the naturalist, buzzards, red squirrels and barn owls are but a few of the local residents who abound in this mild climate.

A short 8 mile journey will take you to the nearest of many clean, safe and expansive beaches.  A further 8 miles on and Breville beach has the added luxury of a golf course. You can walk for miles on these beautiful sandy beaches. 

For evening entertainment, the gite boasts panoramic views and a garden perfect for barbecues or sunset soirees.  La Rogerie is the perfect home base for families  or for couples. 

There are a selection of restaurants offering simple country cuisine to a la carte menus within a short car ride.  

The owners live next door and will be there to welcome you and give you any help should you require it, but you will be left in peace to enjoy your holiday.  You will be very welcome to share our normally abundant  garden produce.
