Perfectly situated 10 miles south of Caen, with its Chateau, Museum and D-Day Memorial and about the same distance again from the ferry port at Ouistreham. Bayeux with its tapestry is a short drive away, as are the World War II landing beaches and William the Conqueror’s castle at Falaise. A few miles to the south is the area of outstanding natural beauty known as the “Suisse Normande”, ideal for walking, climbing, fishing and canoeing amongst other activities. Also within easy reach for a day on the beach are the fashionable resorts of the Cote de Nacre, including Deauville. The nearest grocery shop is three miles away, with shops and several restaurants at Thury Harcourt just seven miles away to the south and an excellent choice in Caen.

On the edge of the village of Boulon, La Tour is at the far end of the large garden of the house of the welcoming owners, and has its own pretty and secluded garden dotted with trees, shrubs and flowers, and with lawn and terrace with garden furniture and barbecue.

Comfortably furnished and immaculately maintained, this newly restored cottage has on the ground floor, a living room with sofa bed, TV and fireplace with wood burner, dining area, small kitchen with oven, microwave, electric hob and fridge, and a shower room with wc. Steep stairs from the kitchen lead up to a single bedroom under the eaves and from here through a low door (about 5 feet high) into a double bedroom. Bed linen included (towels may be hired).
