Home description

Where is it

Orne
 

La Richardière is a tranquil hamlet a stroll away from the sleepy Normandy village of St Siméon. The bocage is very rural being mainly devoted to the orchards and Normandy cows, which locally produce the cider, calvados and Camembert cheese for which the area is renowned.

The beautiful mediaeval town of Domfront is only one of many places of historical interest with its donjon and ancient streets. Traditional pretty French  villages are also easy reach and well worth a visit. For days out consider Le Mont St Michel. Sandy beaches are only an hour away and St Malo half an hour more.

Accommodation detail

This lovely, well-equipped South facing cottage has the use of an enclosed garden, complete with barbecue, garden furniture and play equipment.

The cottage has the benefit of a wood burning stove and heating.

Comfortable accommodation includes:

Cot available free on request.

Bed linen and towels included in price.

Your hosts Alex and John breed alpacas, goats, sheep, donkeys and chickens - all of whom you will be very welcome to meet.

Alex and John make cheese from the goat's milk and this is for sale, as well as free-range eggs, depending on season.

You can be assured of a warm welcome at La Richardière and a relaxing holiday for a family or a couple in quiet rural surroundings.

About the location

As you will discover, there is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. The property is ideally situated as a central base for touring.

The North and West coasts and Le Mans are easily accessible as a day trip. There is a train service from Laval which takes you directly into Disneyland Paris.

Visit the large market at St Hilaire du Harcouet for fresh farm produce and gifts.

A short drive will take you to the market towns of Gorron and Ambrières les Vallees where all of your provision needs can be met.

St Fraimbault is the premiere ville fleuri (village of flowers) of the region and is only 4 km away, a wonderful family day out with flowers and a beautiful huge park surrounding a boating lake.

Throughout the summer many of the villages have fetes and attractions demonstrating the rural French way of life in true joie de vie fashion.
