By taking a rental in Normandy, near Le Havre or Honfleur, you will enjoy a dream stay, and this whatever the season of the year.

Find the gite of your dreams in Normandy and Honfleur

Honfleur is one of Normandy’s favorite tourist destinations. However, before you can start planning your vacation there, you first need to find a gite or accommodation solution that suits you. The first thing you need to do is to make a list of the things that a rental must have in order for you to have a dream vacation. Then, you will have to look at each lodging located in Normandy and check if its facilities allow it to bring you satisfaction by checking this box. Finally, when you have found the rental or the gite of your dreams in Honfleur or elsewhere in Normandy, in Bayeux, Lisieux or Vire Normandie, it will be time to proceed with the booking. Vacations are a sacred moment, whether you choose to go with family, friends, alone or as a couple. There is no ready-made formula, no ideal solution in the absolute. It all depends on your desires, your wishes, your expectations, and your ability to find a gite or rental that suits you as much as possible.

In Honfleur or around the town, you will have no trouble finding a wide variety of gites in France and rentals for tourists passing through. Depending on your desires and what you are looking for, it is inevitably possible to find something to suit your needs. For some people, going on vacation in a gîte is inseparable from having a large private space. Some rentals will offer you cabins or even small private houses so that you can enjoy all the privacy you need. Furthermore, it is possible to find a rental for your vacation that has a pool, or a full-fledged bar or dining area. If you wish, some upscale lodgings include amenities and services such as:

– Pool
– Bar/Restaurant
– Spacious rooms
– Lively evenings
– Day trips
– Activities for children

In addition, some rentals are by the sea, close to all the activity areas, while others are more inland, in the heart of the country tranquility. In any case, you will have no trouble finding the cottage of your dreams for your vacation.

Normandy, a region with a heritage that is virtually unparalleled in France

It is no coincidence that Normandy is a region that is very famous in France, but also around the world. The beauty and gentleness of its assets have for centuries gone beyond our borders. Many destinations in the region are popular with international tourism, such as the Mont-Saint-Michel. Each year, this site welcomes several million visitors, making it the second most visited tourist site in France, just behind the Eiffel Tower. Accessible by plane, boat, train or car, at most two or three hours drive from Paris, Normandy is a particularly accessible region, which partly explains its attractiveness. In addition, the prices charged for a vacation in Normandy are very reasonable compared to what you might encounter in southwestern France, or on the Mediterranean coast.

Renting a gite in Normandy means setting out for an experience that will introduce you to an entire slice of France’s natural, historical and cultural heritage. The Normandy countryside, praised by prestigious authors such as Gustave Flaubert and his famous “Yvetot is worth Constantinople”, is both relaxing and invigorating. You only have to watch the Atlantic Ocean crashing against the vertiginous cliffs of Étretat to be convinced. But the charms of Normandy are not only the prerogative of the masters of literature. Impressionism, the most famous French pictorial movement in the world (if not the most famous in the world), was born here, under the brush of Courbet and then of Monet. If the great painters of the nineteenth century chose Provence and Normandy to develop their art, it is because there is here a light, a nature, a unique atmosphere that provokes the imagination, arouses inspiration and, definitely, soothes the souls.

Honfleur, a true pearl of tranquility on the Atlantic Ocean

Honfleur is not one of the most famous cities in France. Even though it was sung about by Jacques Brel, it has never had the notoriety of some towns in Brittany or the Vendée, at least in terms of tourism. But Honfleur is a city in France that has a lot to offer. Those who choose to go there on vacation will have many things to discover, off the beaten path of mass tourism. Honfleur and its Vieux Bassin were painted by renowned artists, including Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet, the father of Impressionism. Just a stone’s throw from Le Havre, yet you’ll feel like you’re in a peaceful little town.

But taking a rental in a B&B in Honfleur also means you’re about to enjoy a gastronomic experience of its own. Indeed, Honfleur is one of the capitals of the Calvados department, the iconic Normandy spirit that is drunk all over the world. Here you can taste the best “calva” in France. But beyond the drink, there are also plenty of good things to eat in Normandy. In the region, cows are a sacred animal, and all dairy products by extension. Milk, butter, cream… But also the most iconic cheese in France: the famous Camembert. But in Honfleur, close to the ocean, you can also enjoy many freshly caught fish and seafood.
