Gîte "Au fil de l'eau" in a haven of peace "Le Vast" in the heart of the Val de Saire
Welcome to Cotentin, in Normandy, in a small hamlet in the Val de Saire "Le Vast"; Cottage between sea & countryside "Meublé de Tourisme" 3 *.
Quiet in the countryside, on the Cotentin peninsula in the Manche, near Barfleur (elected most beautiful village in France) and Saint-Vaast-La-Hougue in Normandy, "Au fil de l'eau" is a lush greenery close to the seaside.
The region enjoys a mild climate all year round, which is why there are market gardens and remarkable gardens with lush vegetation. Val de Saire is a large garden in the sea.
Exposed stone walls, whitewashed beams, wood stove, "Au fil de l'eau" is a warm cottage with authentic charm located in a small village in the Val de Saire "Le Vast" famous for its brioche.
It is a charming Cotentin village. You will have the opportunity to admire its typical small stone houses, lined up along the Saire where wild ducks paddle peacefully. Its rugged terrain, its river, its waterfalls, its woods and its houses make it a picturesque village where many painters have set up their easels. Around the gîte, the magnificent Norman bocage will offer you a large number of hikes.
Our cottage has a large garden where it is good to have breakfast in the summer. Relaxation areas are available for a reading break, a nap in the sun or a lunch.
Access to the property is via an automated gate (remote control provided upon arrival); private parking allows you to park your car near the cottage. The "Brioche du Vast" is within walking distance, 30 meters away.
