La Brocanterie - Self-catering house in Manche
La Grande Yberterie
281 route de Montsurvent, 50560 Gouville-sur-Mer, Manche
Normandy,
Francia
A brilliant marriage of old stone, modern design and reclaimed timbers, the U-shaped Normandy farmhouse is so cleverly linked that you don’t notice the joins. The pebbled courtyard on one side, the pool and deck on the other send light through generous windows onto the squishy sofas, distressed brocante, glorious timber gallery and gilt frames (James dealt in antiques and still can’t resist collecting) of the huge living area which feels both luxuriously sophisticated and totally relaxed.
The kitchen is filled with everything the modern cook could want and James leaves an unusually generous welcome basket. You can keep an eye on the children in the pool while rustling up that feast of local specialities. The double rooms are lovely, downstairs in contemporary style, upstairs more romantically antique, and bathrooms have good-sized showers.
You'll find bikes waiting so venture out to explore markets, beaches, pretty towns.

Local points of interest from James Mayhew:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
James Mayhew:
- If La Brocanterie is too big for your group, or already booked; Dont despair! Take a look at my other Gite, (new to Sawdays this year, 2023), La Reverie, with three double bedrooms(en suite), private pool, hot tub, playroom, officially 5* rated.
- La Cale, everyone's favourite beach shack for the best moules frites and sausages is 10 mins away. Get a table outside with your feet in the sand, and watch the the sunset. Or try the BOA, a pop up bar at Gouville beach for great tapas, beers and cocktails
- For a bit of brocante visit La Cle du Temps. (10 mins away A huge 'Depôt Vente' full of anything and everything used and quirky .. New things arrive every day. Prices are reduced on all items regularly until they sell. My guests adore going here!
- If you're coming to this part of France you'll already know about its history.. La B is ideally placed for day trips to Mt St Michel, the landing beaches, the Bayeux tapestry, the Cite de la Mer (visit a nuclear submarine!), And masses more
- Take one of La B's bikes and bicycle to the village for your baguette & croissants, or go for a leisurely ride. The local area is flat and has plenty of recommended routes to follow.
- Plenty of activities abound, from playgrounds, mini golf and pedaloes, to horse riding on the beach, sand yachting, kite surfing, stand up boarding, tennis, golf, bungy jumping, forest adventures, paint ball, laser game, karting; something for everyone.
