Owner profile
About the owner
Hello,
I will be your closest neighbour during your stay. So, you ought to know that I run the farm surrounding the guesthouses. I am a real countryside lover and am deligthed to share my passion with my guests. The main thing to keep the "guesthouses business" fine, is to have happy guests. That is why I am always there if you need anything, but I am not of the bothering sort. The animals (cows, poneys, goats, sheep, cats and dogs) could be more bothering as they very often freely wander all over the farm, but, actually, children and even adults, do love that.
I hope this information will not scare you.
Isabelle de Radiguès.
Year purchased: before 1950
Why the owner chose a home in this location
My husband's granfather bought the estate between the 2 wars, and let it to a farmer until 1981. Then, my husband took it over. The Pays-d'Auge farms are typically of that sort : main house surrounded by fields and meadows and plenty of little barns. The first guesthouse (10 people) we renovated was an old bakery (the old kiln is still in the fireplace). The second one (6 people), was a smaller house, and the third ( 4 people )was an tiny barn, in the middle of a field, which has been remoted on a charriot.
