La Merveille
La Merveille is located in the heart of the Normandy countryside in the small village of Le Luot a few kilometres north west of Avranches. There is a good sized garden and pool that provides a safe environment for children, much of it given over to our animals, two ponies, a goat and a breton spaniel, who love any amount of attention. A swimming pool dominates the rest of the garden area with ample adjoining space for relaxing and enjoying the sun.
The house is an ideal base for reaching the excellent sandy beaches of Carolles and Jullouville, Mont St Michel, just a short distance south, and the delightful local market towns of Villedieu-les-Poêles, Jullouville, St Hilaire du Harcouët,and Granville. Local shops are within 10 minutes drive at Avranches and the nearest supermarket is a similar distance away. The D-Day landing beaches can be reached in 50 minutes via the Avranches-Caen motorway. La Merveille has five bedrooms all on the first floor, all with en suite bathrooms. There are two large family rooms, sleeping 3, 5 and 6 respectively, and three double or twin rooms. All the rooms have been decorated in a modern style. For larger groups, further accommodation can be made available on request on the second floor. Guests have use of the extensive lounge and games room facilities, which include a pool table, table football and television. A continental breakfast consisting of fresh baguettes, croissants (with jams) and pain chocolat is served in the lounge dining area. A wide range of cereals are available, also yogurt, orange juice and a choice of tea or coffee. On request, an English breakfast can be provided with bacon, eggs, tomatoes and sausages. A simple evening meal or snack is also readily available on request with possible barbecues in the warmer months. The barbecue area has a shady pagoda and ample seating. A petanque piste has been included and guests can try their hand at the popular game of boules. The Area
There is a good deal of sporting activity in the area. There are several excellent golf courses within 40 minutes drive. Most notably at Donville-sur-Mer and Bréhal, both courses close to Granville. These are dunes or links courses and are exceptionally well maintained with impressive club houses. Le Parc, 5 minutes from the house, hosts one of France`s premier karting tracks and provides excellent value for anyone wanting to go karting. There are fishing lakes, a wide variety of excellent walks (including the spectacular guided walk across the sands to Mont St Michel), numerous opportunities to go pony trekking or horse riding and some superb sandy beaches, most notably at Jullouville and Carolles. La Merveille is the ideal base from which to explore the Lower Normandy region which must include a visit to Mont St Michel. At the same time, we highly recommended that visitors take in the beautiful harbour at Cancale and the nearby town of St Malo. The area has two major World War II cemetaries at St James and a museum close to Avranches. The D-Day Normandy Landing beaches can readily be accessed via the motorway to Caen in less than an hour. About 20 minutes from La Merveille is the excellent country zoo at Champrepus which allows the animals space to run free in grassy paddock enclosures. There are first class weekly markets at St Hilaire du Harcouët, Villedieu-les-Poêles, Jullouville and Granville. You are spoilt for choice when it comes to restaurants and we can recommend a good many in Avranches, Villedieu, Gavray and the surrounding area. Travel Information
