Franqueville Farm

This charming and intimate farm, surrounded by its own farmland, lies quietly at the end of a small country road that still gives you easy access to the village of Sainte Marie du Mont, Utah Beach. The lodging is part of themain farm house, but is a contained unit that extends over three floors connected through a unique staircase. The two entrances can access the main court yard to the front or the garden to the back. The space This beautiful mansion with its slender shape is typical for the rich agricultural region of the ‘Plain Du Cotentin’. On the ground floor you’ll find the spacious kitchen and dining room with a large fireplace and adjoining toilettes. Two bedrooms are located in the first floor, both with king size beds. The third bedroom with one queen size and one single bed is situated in the second floor. All bedrooms contain their own bathrooms. The lodging has its private backyard with table and barbecue.

The size of the beds is 160x200 for room 1, 140x200 for room 2, 160X200 and 100x190 for room 3. (3 course )Host table from farm products is available for 25 euros per person. Drinks are not provided. Breakfast can be served on request for 10 euros per person. Other things to note We have taken over a saddle horse stud in the spring of 2021 to recreate a Normandy hedged meadow farm in which several species of animals contribute to an agroecological balance. We are also starting a market gardening activity and plan to convert the large plots into agroforestry. This is part of a professional reconversion (see my profile) The animals raised on the farm are all local heritage breeds such as the Cotentin hen and sheep, the Normandy goose, the ditch goat and the Norman Cob draught horse. We do not have a tractor on the farm, our horses are used for pasture maintenance instead.
