From our first meeting in 2016 with La Blanchetière we fell in love with her. The place is a true image of Epinal de la Normandie. They cease to delight us with their charms over the seasons.
The renovation of the building was carried out with the greatest respect for old materials. The interior is chic and harmonious. The decoration made by the previous owners has been thought out with great taste.
A rich and preserved environment
The Normandy countryside par excellence.
Here, farms, thatched cottages and small hamlets built on the hillside hide behind elderberry or hawthorn hedges and alternate with meadows where herds graze.
La Blanchetière is no exception to the rule. An organic orchard where cows graze borders our large flowered and wooded garden. As well as a pension for horses which is in the immediate vicinity of the house.
Rabbits, woodpeckers, chickadees, wagtails, dragonflies and other inhabitants of the area will certainly be observed during your stay.
Finally, below the Blanchetière, the famous Houssaye cheese dairy has been established since 1810 . You can buy direct sales: Livarot, Pont l'Evêque and Pavé d'Auge.
