The space 🌊 La Maison sur le Quai – Sea view & marine charm in Port-en-Bessin Welcome to La Maison sur le Quai, an iconic former fishermen's house, the first born of the Les Filles du Bord de Mer rental adventure. Since 2009, it has won the hearts of many travelers from all over the world, some of whom return several times a year, and has been recommended by the decor press (print and TV) and in renowned travel guides. Settle in on the private elevated terrace, let time pass by watching the sea, the tides, the fishing boats, the seagulls... Here, you live to the rhythm of the gentle lapping of the waves or the force of the storms, the sea wind, the spray and the superb Norman sunsets. In this small port, which is lively all year round, fishermen perpetuate an artisanal tradition, coexisting with the inhabitants while tourists enjoy the beaches of the coast, the Normandy countryside and immerse themselves in the history of the landing and medieval history. 🏡 A charming townhouse Behind a modest facade, marked by spray and storms (the last storm blew away a shutter! Next renovation planned for 2026-2027), the fishermen's houses are squeezed together. Inside, there is a seaside spirit, cozy, simple, authentic and comfortable. Each object tells a story, every detail has been carefully thought out and there are a few nods to pretty design pieces such as Tolix chairs or the Artemide lamp. - I fell in love with this little house in 2006 - And with the help of an architect and local craftsmen, we completely renovated it in 2008-2009 - Its decoration is deliberately sober and timeless - The original materials have been preserved as much as possible: terracotta tiles, paneling, old frames... while it has also been infused with a more contemporary spirit (waxed concrete,...) ✨ What's going well - Exceptional location facing the sea - Unobstructed view (small view on the ground floor, beautiful sea view on the 1st floor, sea view from the bed and bathtub on the second floor) - Private raised terrace - Soft, cozy and unpretentious atmosphere - A few steps away: shops, restaurants, pancake truck, summer carousel, golf... - A magical awakening with the sea on the horizon - My friend Astrid and I created the "Les Filles du Bord de Mer" Cottages.
