Former 18th century mill in Lower Normandy
Location
Close to the Nacre coast with the nearest seaside resort just over 6 miles away. Caen is 11 miles away, Bayeux 6, Deauville 34 and Paris 156 miles away. This area has the benefit of all the motorway, train and air links required for school, professional and tourist purposes. The airports in Caen, Le Havre and Deauville provide rapid links to miscellaneous national and international destinations.
A classic example of a historic and tourist site, with a past heavily marked by the Second World War.
Tourist trails for hiking, pony trekking and cycling can also be used for exploring the region.
