About this property

Idyllic French country escape near Utah beach

Ideal for family holidays and couples, the gîte sleeps up to 5 people across 2 bedrooms. It is ideally situated just outside of Carentan and is close to several famous beaches, including Omaha, Utah and Gold beach and is surrounded by popular French towns such as Bayeaux, Sainte-Mère-Église, Saint-Lô and Cherbourg.

The house is well equipped with a private garden, BBQ, Wi-Fi, private parking spaces and a TV.

It is only a short drive from Cherbourg and Caen ferry ports which both offer crossings from the UK. Whilst Cherbourg is the closest ferry port, Caen ferry port is approx 100km away and Le Harve is 178km, so it is also possible to drive from either of these ports if arriving from the UK.

For people with a military interest, in particular of the US 83rd division, this location has a lot to offer. The house was taken by the 330th and 331st regiments of the 83rd division of the US army around the 7th July 1944 during very heavy and brutal combat. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day on 7th June 2019 a memorial to the 83rd division was inaugurated 150m down the road from the house at the location of Calvary Cross of Hotot. Some relics from the battles that took place in the local area are on display in the house. More information is available on request.

Pleasant location
Just suited us as both east and west coasts were readily accessible. But no shops or services in the village. Quiet situation.
