The Surrounding Area

The house itself is located in a quiet countryside setting, yet also within easy access of all local facilities. This part of Normandy is very popular with tourists-Mortain with it's history and waterfalls is only about 10 km away, and Mont St Michel only about 50 km away. Our nearest town, Sourdeval, can seem quiet during the week-yet it becomes very lively at weekends, market days, and at holiday times. Information on events in Sourdeval can be found at

From the house, Sourdeval is only a 2km drive-or a 25 minute walk away.
Sourdeval has a good mixture of shops, small supermarkets, a small cinema and town hall, and good schools.
Caen, with it's ferry port at Ouistreham is only 1.5 hrs drive away, and it's also only just over an hour's drive to the seaside and elegance of towns along the coast like Granville.

Sourdeval's town band turns out for all the regular festivals such as the town's annual flower festival when floats covered in paper flowers go through the town, and are then illuminated for the evening, and followed by a firework display.
