The Experience

Sit with a glass of cider in the sun-trap courtyard, and you’ll be gazing at Bricquebec’s clock tower and the ramparts (complete with grazing goats and sheep) of one of Normandy’s best-preserved castles. And when it’s time for dinner, there are restaurants aplenty at the end of the shop-studded lane. Secluded yet central with pretty white shutters and flowery window boxes, the 200-year-old stone house feels light and airy.

An open-plan living area is bright with photos, leather sofas and an exposed stone feature wall, and up on the landing a wingback chair invites you to rest awhile. There’s a single room off here, with a country-cosy master room up one more flight under the eaves: stripped floorboards, feather bedding, velux windows peeping out between the beams.

You’re left locally made cider in the sparkling kitchen and you can amble to the boulangerie in the mornings to collect fresh croissants.

Reviews

I love 11 bis and its situation – it's a lovely, bright and comfortable house nestling below the medieval tower in the town centre of Bricquebec. You can really soak up French life here. There's a fabulous Monday market selling abundant local specialities. It's a great base to explore the Cotentin peninsula or just stay local, there's lots to do close by.

We have very much enjoyed our stay in Bricquebec and our exploration of a part of Normandy which we did not know very well - until now. The gite is excellent and the people of the town are very friendly - we came to know them better than we had expected as a consequence of being "grounded" during the 4-day Grande Fete Ste Anne! When we got to leave the perimeter of the commune, highlights included Utah Beach, the Cotentin/Bessin Marais, Cite de la Mer, St Vaast and a concert in Barfleur - we'll be back for more!

What a wonderful place to stay! Even the view from the windows of the Norman tower are spectacular. The house is extremely well appointed - from bathroom to Kirchen are comfy beds with very very clever bedside lamps! Beaches reachable. And the landscape all around is fabulous. We will be back!

Had a wonderful time here at 11 BIS. Great base to explore. Lovely walks on the beach at Sciotot and Portbail with our little Pooch. Also visited St Sauveur Forest. Sampled the beers at the local bars in the village and had a good meal in L' Auberge Du Donjon in the village square, staff & chef were lovely + friendly.

We found this a wonderful gite, well presented and well equipped. Also beautifully decorated. One of the best gites we have ever stayed at in France. Excellent location with easy access to good shops and restaurants. Surrounding countryside and seaside well worth visiting. We were grateful for Bridget's recommendations and particularly enjoyed a meal at Le Vent du Mer and the 1970's Carribbean atmosphere of Goetland 1951! We would return like a shot but unfortunately, as two people in their late seventies, we found the stairs quite a challenge! (We were warned and glad we didn't take heed!)

Location

The neighbourhood

Monday is market day so head out for fresh fish, Trappe cheese and lots of other goodies from stalls lining the cobbled streets and town square. Eat at Brasserie Le Relais du Cotentin, people watch at Bar du Centre. Charming and refined Barneville-Carteret is a 20-minute drive for seafront restaurants serving the freshest oysters and mussels and golden sandy beaches for kayaking.

Local points of interest from Bridget Whitehead

  • Supermarkets, garages, banks, delicious bakers, friendly bars, fantastic beaches, wonderful markets, swimming pools and great restaurants. Equally important is the fact that the whole area is steeped in history and all this on your door step!
  • The chateau in Bricquebec dates from the 11th century, sit in market place cafe on the famous Market Day and just people watch with the imposing statue of Napoleons General Jean Le Marois presiding over the town.
  • A little further away on the East coast modern history saw the allied invasion of 6 Juin 1944. Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword beaches plus Pegasus Bridge, Bayeux and St Mere Eglise. All ready for you to take a walk through history.
