Click here to email owner   About our region

Le Haut de la Rue is the stone built farmhouse of a small farm on the outskirts of an unspoilt village, Saint Germain Langot, about midway between Falaise and the picturesque and rugged countryside of the Suisse Normandie.

The farm house is convenient for the glorious and expansive sandy beaches that extend the length of the Normandy coastline, many of which were at the heart of the Allied landings of the 6th June 1944.

It is also within a comfortable drive of the famous Bayeaux Tapestry, Le Mont St Michel, Rouen and even Paris on a good day. Falaise too has historic connec tions, being the birthplace of William the Conqueror.

Ideally situated for a country break and just 45 minutes by car from the ferry port at Ouistreham (Caen), whilst not being excessively commercialised there is much to do including golf, horseriding, climbing, swimming, canoeing, windsurfing and even hang gliding and bungy jumping , should the fancy take you.

There are museums to visit, casinos to play in, theatres, churches, chateau, country markets, and of course the famed Calvados restaurants to enjoy. None is obligatory, naturally. Some may wish to just wallow in the calm of the countryside, to enjoy the occasional walk and to rest a while at a pavement café or bar.

About our property

We are pleased to be able to offer a large 2 bedroomed family suite and a large double/ family room.

Outside is a paved terrace with garden furniture to use at leisure and the whole of Le Haut de la Rue is set in grassland of 5 acres planted with trees and shrubs. Both Sophie and Nell (1 Labrador and 1 Collie cross) do their best to make everyone welcome and will happily show you and the children the grounds.
