Number Four, Magny, near Trun, Normandy

About our region

Number Four is an eighteenth century former farm set in 17 hectares of land in the heart of the Normandy countryside. Independently owned but run in association with the owners of La Cour Aux Bourgois, this is the second Toddler Holiday gite of its kind catering specifically for families with children under 5 years of age.

Trun is a typical small French town with a range of shops including three bakeries, a butchers, supermarket, traditional grocers and a bank with cash machine. There is a weekly market every Thursday and ten minutes by car will get you to a large hypermarket in Argentan. All the facilities of a large city can be found in Caen, 45 minutes away.

There is plenty to see and do in this area of Basse-Normandie from the Normandy beaches to safari and theme parks, aquatic centres, chateaux, all manner of sporting activities, cultural events and weekly markets. To help you organise your time you can use the Toddler Holiday Tried and Tested Directory which contains recommendations and advice from previous families holidaying in the area.
