AREA :

Situated in the country in a popular area of La Manche, between the market towns with good shops and schools of Hambye and Notre Dame de Cenilly, within easy reach of the beach, train stations, the motorway A84, & ports for travel to the UK and Ireland. It is an area with wonderful tourist sites, including 3 UNESCO sites, Le Mont Saint Michel, the D-Day Landing Beaches and the lesser known Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue and the Tours Vauban, making this the perfect area whether you want to live here all year with its milder climate or create a holiday home.

The department of Manche is in Lower Normandy and is bordered with Calvados, Orne, Mayenne and Ille-et-Vilaine. The English Channel in the west, north and north-west coastlines makes getting here to its many ports very easy from the UK. There is also an airport in Caen and many others are easily accessible in the surrounding regions such as Rennes airport.

History is all over the department through its museums and heritage, discovering the local traditions and culture as well as Chateaux, religious monuments, water mills, maritime sites and gardens is easy to do. The biggest 'must-do' is a visit to Mont Saint Michel.

Tourism plays a major role in the economy of the department which is fine because there is so much to see and do.
