In the peaceful rural countryside of Normandy, Farmhouse Lazuline offers a charming and comfortable place to spend time with loved ones.
Dating back to the 19th century, this characterful bolthole was once the old stables of neighbouring Château Lazuline. Nowadays, it’s a quiet, French retreat which has been recently renovated to provide living space for up to 8 guests across its four pretty bedrooms. Guests can appreciate its heritage with exposed wood beams, rustic flooring and 17th-century antique furnishings, creating a historic yet warm ambience for a family or small group of friends.
Its living spaces will enchant you, especially the gorgeously tiled kitchen and lovely dining area, whilst the contemporary conservatory adds extra space at any time of year. The two acres of garden are glorious with ancient trees, some of which date back over four centuries. It’s the perfect place for quiet reading, barbecues in the sunshine and lawn games with children in the private grounds.
This is the ideal base for exploring Normandy and beyond – perhaps start off in the historic town of Rouen with its cathedral, bustling markets, excellent restaurants and vibrant culture. Visit the impressionist collection in Rouen’s Musée des Beaux-Art or drive to the landscapes that have inspired Monet such as the banks of the Seine in nearby La Bouille and the artist’s famous gardens in Giverny, just over an hour away.
The Belle Époque seaside resort of Deauville is a wonderful day out with its designer boutiques, casino and fantastic beach, as is the picture-perfect fishing village of Honfleur. You could even spend time in the great city of Paris or stay closer to home to potter around local villages and market towns, sampling regional specialities in traditional restaurants and appreciating the rural landscapes of this welcoming part of Normandy.

- The farmhouse is next to the owners' Château Lazuline but they are both private from each other, separated by a pine tree hedge and with their own entrances.

Location
About the surrounding area of Farmhouse LazulineFarmhouse Lazuline is in the Eure department of Normandy, 40km south-west of the beautiful town of Rouen. It neighbours the elegant Château Lazuline although both properties are private thanks to a hedge of pine trees.
Surrounded by rural countryside and farmland where cows often graze, you will find the nearest restaurants and a boulangerie in the small town of Bourg Achard (5km). There is a Michelin rated restaurant within a short drive whilst private wine tastings can also be arranged.
There is so much discover across this part of Normandy. Start off in the university town of Rouen (40km), a very charming place with its fascinating history (it’s where Joan of Arc was burnt at the stake), wonderful restaurants, shops, markets and a studenty cultural vibe. Admire Rouen’s cathedral made so famous by Monet’s painting and enjoy the town’s quayside by the River Seine.
From Rouen, you could even hop on a train for a great day out in Paris, with trains to Saint-Lazare taking an average of 90 minutes. Alternatively, slightly closer are the gardens of Monet’s Giverny (80km) and the small but interesting Musée de Vernon or head to the village of La Bouille (18km) where Monet famously painted landscapes of the Seine.
You are also close to fantastic golf courses and other historic days out such as the D-Day landing beaches around Omaha (151km) and beyond as well as the historic towns of Caen (105km) and Bayeux (130km).
Even closer are Honfleur (52km), a picture-perfect fishing village, and Deauville (65km), known for its Belle Époque ambience, designer boutiques, wonderful beach and famous casino.
Potter around villages and market towns of the region, looking out for a wealth of specialities such as Livarot Camembert and Pont L’Eveque cheeses, and the much-loved apple brandy called Calvados. The Friday morning market in Pont Audemer (25km) is especially good whilst there are many others scattered across the area, not to mention several traditional restaurants serving fabulous local cuisine of Normandy.

Region
History and gastronomy go hand-in-hand in Normandy, making it a great choice if culture and fine dining are what you’re looking for in a holiday! There’s still plenty on offer besides the food and tales of yesteryear, however – you can take a tour around some of the beautiful inland towns and villages or head to the coast, where you’ll find a mixture of wide sandy beaches and rugged, romantic cliffs. If you’re not already convinced to head to one of our villas in Normandy (or maybe if you’ve already booked) you’ll find a wealth of great things to do, see and eat in our ultimate Normandy travel guide!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThis part of Normandy is all about rural landscapes and endless walking opportunities for all the family, as well as pottering around local villages and towns. There is horse-riding across the region, plenty of cycling opportunities as well as summer canoeing along the Risle within a 15-minute drive.
The cultural town of Rouen is a great family day out with its shops, markets, restaurants and art galleries. Look out for parks and other attractions across the newly renovated banks of the Seine.
For another fantastic trip, drive towards the coast and spend time in Deauville, a charming Belle Époque seaside resort with a brilliant beach. Trouville-sur-Mer and Villiers-sur-Mer are two other fantastic beaches with all sorts of family attractions in the summer months.

A fantastic stay!
Lovely farmhouse in a lovely quiet setting but still only 10 mins away from everything you would ever need. Jane and Chris accommodated us at very short notice which was also fantastic.
