A wonderful dream of Normandy
Madame Melin gave us such a warm welcome and was quick to tell us of the ' don't miss' experiences of the area; advice that helped us make the best of our short stay. The house and garden are such a romantic setting,that we only regret not spending more time there. A great place for reveries in the beautiful Normandy countryside..

Un accueil vraiment charmant
A l'abri d'un ravissant village, le gîte est le lieu idéal pour découvrir ou redécouvrir cette magnifique région. Notre hôte, toujours de bon conseil, n'a pas ménagé sa peine pour que notre séjour soit le plus agréable possible.

Gert S., 's-Hertogenbosch

Ideaal en heel erg "Frans" vakantiehuis in een mooie en rustige omgeving.
Een heel fijn en ruim huis in de het kleine plaatsje Ri. Voor 5 personen is er heel veel ruimte (twee badkamers, 3 toiletten en een grote tuin rondom het huis). De extra faciliteiten (Jeu de boules; tafeltennistafel) gaven het huis nog meer toegevoegde waarde. Ideale plek om tot rust te komen én om actief te zijn (kanoën in Clécy, bezoek aan de D-Daystranden). In Argentan (15 minuten rijden) zijn supermarkten en andere winkels te vinden. Gastvrije ontvangst door mevrouw Mélin met cider en koekjes en een Frans babbeltje.
