Do we stay at one place? Yes. It's more relaxing. It also saves the hassle of packing and moving on. So we radiate out each day.
"Le haut de la Tuilerie"
is a fully renovated 17th century Norman "colombage-style" house standing on a hillside
within 1,5 hectare of gardens called 'Le Tertre'. The grounds consist of a large orchard with a variety of fruit, a designed flower garden with lovely terraces, a natural pond and a vegetable garden.
There are three double bedrooms.
Two of these spacious bedrooms have their own separate exterior entrance at the lower level. 
They are situated on the east side of the house, overlooking the valley, catching the early morning sun. Each room has King size beds.
The large bathroom, shared between these rooms, has a shower, two washbasins, bath, bidet and toilet.
The third bedroom is on the upper level again with its own exterior entrance and ensuite shower room
These two rooms share a beautifully appointed bathroom, shower, wash basin and toilet facilities.
Within 2 miles of Camembert (cheese!). It is equally close to Mont Ormel - the Corridor of Death - and the Battle of the Falaise Gap. Mont Ormel was the 'Gap' through which the German 7th Army was escaping and was sealed by the Poles in August 1944. During that horrific 4 day battle 10,000 German soldiers perished.
They have good humour and will help make your stay relaxing, informative and enjoyable.
"Exmes" Maybe you would like to stay in a 17th century town house that has been occupied by the same family since 1888.
4Kms from the National Stud of Haras du Pin "the Versailles of Horses", the village of Exmes dominates the valley of the Dive river, offering exceptional views.
Situated in the heart of this charming village full of history, we offer two double bedrooms each with ensuite facilities in this wonderful 17th century family house that has been occupied by six generations of the same family since 1888

Yes, book as early as you can. This is a small company and so there are only a limited number of places (6) available at any given time. Once you have decided on your holiday movements it would be prudent to reserve a place.
It would be especially prudent to book if you are forming your own group. It would avoid losing the dates you want.
We are quite willing to 'pencil you in' as it helps give us an idea of the forthcoming year's requirements. However, a reservation is only considered 'firm' on receipt of a deposit.
If you have any doubts, please ask by e-mailing - Info@NormandySafaris.co.uk
