Further details
Montreuil sur Mer, is one of the prettiest largely preserved walled medieval towns in northern France. Every year since 1998 they have received a 4 star national award for their beautiful flower displays. Important during World War 2 it is a good base to explore the cemeteries and battlefields of both World Wars. During the summer there is enthusiastic celebration for its famous author Victor Hugo who used the town as inspiration for his epic Les Miserables. Finally an evening stroll along the ramparts just before dinner can be an evocative and romantic end to the day.

Guest comments
"I think your Villa's are a haven... a wonderful holiday was had by all and made so special by the wonderful people staying" Keith family and friends 2008
"Great Museums... good time had by all - felt very welcome at all times by everyone... also made new friends and great party games have been exchanged!" Sinclair family 2008
"I am happy to recommend your lovely houses to friends and colleagues. It was situated in an unspoilt village, in a beautiful area and is close to nice towns. It was not too far from the ferry so the journey in France was minimal. The maison was a large, traditional barn beautifully converted into a modern, well appointed house with every convenience needed. We loved the heated pool and the tennis court and recommend visits to the boulangerie in Aix en Issart and the fromagerie and cafes in Montreuil. For history we recommend visits to Agincourt, the First World War cemetary in Etaples and the grim Blockhouse" Vane Family and friends 2008
