Le Mas Normand, a bed and breakfast in Calvados by the sea

Comfortable accommodation in an authentic place

A former small farmhouse dating from 1771, the Mas Normand seduces its visitors with the charm of its exposed beams and its stone walls coated with lime.

The Mas Normand offers :

• 3 rooms for 2, 3 or 4 people with a refined and relaxing decoration;

• The unusual caravan.  Thanks to its 2 communicating rooms, it can accommodate up to 4 people and is ideal for a family with children. The hemp insulation and the zinc roof guarantee a comfortable cocoon for you to recharge your batteries in peace and quiet in any season.

Those who wish can reserve the whole house and thus accommodate up to 13 people.

An exceptional setting

The 18th century guest house is nestled on a large wooded plot of land sheltered from the sea wind, on the banks of the river La Provence. Let yourself be seduced by the large flowered garden, an ideal place to recharge your batteries in the company of birdsong.

A veranda is waiting for you to rest, enjoy your breakfast or eat with a microwave oven, a refrigerator and a barbecue at your disposal.

Pleasant options for eating

If you don't feel like cooking, take advantage of the Mas Normand's catering services:

• Jars from local producers (duck in cider, cassoulet, etc.) ;
• Board of local charcuterie and cheeses to enjoy ;
• Seafood platters.

Every morning, enjoy a hearty breakfast with bread and pastries from the local bakery.

Explore the heritage of Calvados

Just a stone's throw from the guest house, don't miss the wetland of Ver sur Mer - Meuvaines. Between marshes and pastures, it is a privileged place to contemplate many species of birds and plants. Signs scattered along the path tell the story of the Second World War in the village.

Several castles await you in the vicinity:

• Creully medieval castle built between the 11th and 15th centuries, having played a major role during World War II;

• Brécy castle, which offers beautiful formal gardens;

• Renaissance castle in Fontaine-Henry, with one of the highest roofs in France.

Finally, plan a day trip to Honfleur, an hour and a quarter away. This picturesque and charming port is lively in all seasons. Discover the many art galleries and artisans as you stroll through the narrow streets amidst the colorful half-timbered houses. To complete your visit, visit the Naturospace butterfly house, an exotic place.
