Gîte Les Hirondelles: Your rustic retreat in Normandy

Discover Gîte Les Hirondelles, a charming nature cottage that is part of an impressive, 17th-century Norman farmhouse. Here you can breathe history and enjoy modern comfort at the same time. Whether you want to catch the spring sun or seek the winter tranquility, our gîte is a warm and welcome home all year round.

Comfort and facilities

In the gîte you will find everything you need for a carefree stay:

  • Heating: Thanks to our environmentally friendly heat pump, you are assured of a pleasant climate, in all seasons.
  • Fully equipped kitchen: Cooking enthusiasts can indulge themselves. The kitchen is complete with a four-burner stove, all necessary cooking utensils, a microwave, oven, coffee maker and a full-sized refrigerator.
  • Outdoor space: Step from the gîte directly onto your own cozy terrace. Here is a comfortable garden set, complete with soft garden cushions and parasols, perfect for long breakfasts or intimate evenings under the stars.

Nature and Relaxation in the Yard

Gîte Les Hirondelles is located in the middle of greenery. You are surrounded by a vast grassy meadow and our growing food forest. Meet the permanent residents of the yard: our rustic sheep (suppliers of beautiful wool!) and our friendly cats.

For relaxation on hot days, there is our ecological swimming pond, a wonderful and natural place to cool off. In addition, make free use of the barbecue for a cozy evening meal and find a spot on one of our sun loungers to completely unwind.

During your stay, we offer you the opportunity to take a piece of our passion home with you. You can purchase various unique and local products from us:

  • Beer from WitchDruid Brewery: Taste the craft beer from our own nano brewery.

We (Sylvie and Peter) welcome you!
Since 2018 we have been living in the enchanting French Orne. The love for this house and this 'magical land' was instant. We called our house La Maison des Druides, a name that suits us perfectly. We are at home here.
We hope to meet and welcome you in our own part of France.
