'We have just spent a lovely halfterm break at Le Pont D'Albart. Having been to France on many occasions this is the best gite yet; everything is great and we wish we could stay longer. There is lots to do here we; Bayeux, Cherbourg, etc. Great time go karting at Lessay. There are beautiful walks through forests and of course the glorious unspoilt beaches. A place to be recommended and well worth further visits'. Greg, Betty and John Silva - Bedfordshire.
