Owner profile

About the owner
Happily retired, running a gite was not really on the menu. Fortunate circumstances changed all that and when by accident we found Bon Courage, it was love at first sight. We had no previous experience in running a self catering gite, but with the help of the previous owners and on the job training we quickly learned. It is a great joy to meet so many wonderful guests. Without changing any of the rural charm of our gite, major improvements and upgrades were made. For those who wish to enjoy a restful and relaxing holiday, Bon Courage is the place to be. Within an hour's drive major historical and other sights can be visited. The solar heated indoor swimming pool, the boules court and two acres of garden await you on your return! Come and enjoy rural Calavados. Bon Courage welcomes you!
