11 bis

Returning to France after several years, this has been a haven for a most enjoyable week. A lovely house to be in - light, airy, castle views + sheep / goats, ideal shopping in a genuine small French town. We recommend the Voie Verte for walks and adjoining foot-paths to the south. Super headland walk and sandy estuary at Carteret. And thank you Ruth for your welcome and help. PS A lovely time of year with the trees freshly out and the hedgerows full of wild flowers - wild flax, bluebells, orchids and Solomon's seal!

A busy holiday visiting many sites, especially relative to D-Day with our Grandson. Really enjoyed Ponton G Creperie in St Vaast as well as pizzas from Le Normandy here in Bricquebec. Hope to be back soon!

Briquebec is ideally situated as a base for discovering the Cotentin peninsular and has everything one needs in the way of bars, shops and restaurants as well as a castle. The road is quiet in the evenings and at night. Similarly, the house has everything one needs for a stay. It has its own parking spot right outside, a practical kitchen and living room downstairs with a bedroom, bathroom and an extra little sitting room on the first floor and the comfortable main bedroom and its bathroom up a second flight of stairs. If weather permits one can also sit in the little yard with its view.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 11 Bis. The house was well appointed and ideally suited for travelling throughout the region of La Manche in Normandy. Our favourite places to visit were Portbail, Bayeaux, Sainte-Mere-Eglise and Utah beach made more poignant with 75th Anniversary events .
