This pretty colombage house sits at the edge of a quiet village in Normandy’s picturesque Orne region. Comfortably furnished in a mixture of traditional and modern styles. Examples of both the Orne’s and Calvados’s diverse history are reflected in the traditions and sights to be found at nearby Vimoutiers and Lisieux. Vimoutiers is a typical Norman market town, well known as the home of the Camembert cheese. In neighbouring Calvados the historic town of Lisieux is topped by the dramatic edifice of the Sainte Therese Basilica. Heading north, the cosmopolitan resort town of Deauville lies within easy driving distance of Vivre La Vie. Deauville is perhaps best known as the ’Cannes of the North’ as it plays host to Frances ’other’ annual film festival.
