La Chevalerie - Self-catering house in Manche
La Chevalerie, 50360 Picauville, Manche
Normandy,
France
The house is furnished with great taste: antique rugs on flagstone floors, gorgeous curtain fabrics, exposed beams, lovingly worn furniture, limestone walls and an impressive solid stone staircase. It’s been in the family for over twenty years and the furniture and artwork have been thoughtfully collected over that time.
Two living rooms downstairs have cosy seating and open fires, there's a full-size antique billiard table in the adjoining ‘Great Hall’ and a good collection of films on DVD. Mostly you'll be out in the garden discovering a beautiful shell house, eating al fresco by the brick-built barbecue and playing boules on the lawn. The surroundings are bucolic.
Cycle to the village (half a mile) for your morning croissants, walk, explore rural Normandy - the wonderful markets and wild beaches.
