Le Brevedent

The sign for Le Brevedent

We choose this little village of a few houses as our base for our trip to Normandy.It is an ideal position just 15 miles from the coast.There are so many things to see within 50 miles of the village.We took the short ferry crossing Dover to Calais and then drove the 170 miles down to Le Brevedent.

To reach the Gite that we rented you had to drive down this very narrow lane.Fortunately there was not much traffic although we did meet the local school bus once and had to back up.There were several nice residential homes along the track before you came to our rented Gite. The Gite was set in about 2 acres of land and was a typical Normandy cottage. The cottage was surrounded by several apple orchards this is one of the Calvados brandy producing area. You can visit the local distillers and buy the Calvados.The photo below show our rented Gite

Le Brevedent Gite

We visited the area tha last week in May 2009 and stayed for 12 days the weather was warm and dry.

We were able to eat out on the terrace every night and enjoy the local food and drink.Which you can buy from the markets in the area there is one on every day. The weather was warm enough for a couple of early breakfast outside as well. The first job in the morning around 8am was the trip to the local bakery in Blangy le Chateau. To buy really fresh bread and croissant`s to have with fresh fruit and coffee.

The red squirrel visited the garden every morning. It took me all week to get close enough to take a picture.
