The Perfect Thanksgiving Stay in Normandy at the Presbytery
We rented this house and it was the perfect location for our two families to spend Thanksgiving in Normandy. The arrival was easy and we were met by Vanessa who gave us the full tour of the property and welcomed us.
The farmhouse is just what we were looking for: spacious, comfortable, and located close to Bayeaux to see the Landing Beaches and take a day trip to Bayeaux. The house had everything we needed and the owner, Xavier, was amazing, Everything he recommended was perfect for us. We hired a local chef to cook dinner one night as well as had Thanksgiving dinner prepared by Xavier! It was so fun to watch him cook and he even taught the kids how to make crepes earlier in the day. We enjoyed visiitng Bayeaux and three of our girls went to the riding stables next door to take lessons on two days with Anthony. This was a great experience as well. There are markets and restaurants nearby and the house is well stocked.
We visited in the off season so the pool was closed, and the weather was chilly, but we were prepared. It was an easy drive from Paris to get to the house and the surroundings are beautiful. Xavier is great to communicate with and he really made our time in Normandy special. Thank you Xavier, hope to see you again soon!
