Welcome to the house that Marie and Stefan fell in love with, a former XVIIIe century stable, that has been entirely renovated. It is a charming house in a typical village in the heart of Normandy
We are a franco german couple, Marie works in tourism and Stefan, a former chef runs the bed and breakfast.
The D-Day Landings were the most vital part of the greater Operation Overlord to liberate Europe from years of German military occupation. Allied planning for a massive invasion of German-held France had got underway as early as 1943. The Normandy coast west from the Orne River Estuary to the Cotentin Peninsula was chosen for its flat, firm beaches, and to take the German military off guard – German intelligence thought an Allied invasion would occur much closer to Britain, on France’s most northerly beaches. As plans developed, the Allied commanders, Eisenhower and Montgomery, decided to extend the landing sectors to east and west.
