Group Gîte at La Daviais is a converted smallholding in a hamlet in the
beautiful lower Normandy region of Northern France about 20 kilometres
from the world famous Mont.St.Michel. It has five bedrooms (two of
which are en-suite) of varying sizes including a large dormitory (great
for kids!) which means we're able to accommodate up to twenty - ideal
for clubs, large groups or family reunions: There's a large open plan
lounge with UK TV and DVD and music centre, a huge wood burner as well
as a bar and pool table. There's also a fitted kitchen with all
appliances, another wood burner and second UK TV as well as a separate
dining room with a large oak table and chairs. There's also a washing
machine and drying room with tumble dryer. There's also a small 'kids'
room with settee, table football and 'PlayStation 2 with separate TV
screen. The pool area is a natural sun trap and features sunloungers,
chairs and tables as well as an open sided barn with a fridge and table
tennis table. There's also a separate outside dining area with BBQ. The
garden has a number of fruit trees and overlooks neighbouring
countryside. We also have swings and a massive tramploline which is
always popular with the children as well as ducks, chickens and other
sundry livestock! Our nearest town is St.James, about 5km away. This
charming little town features several good restaurants as well as a
surprisingly good range of shops and bars; there are also two good
supermarkets. Just outside the town is the large American Second World
War cemetery. We're just 18 km from the internationally known World
Heritage Site of Le Mont St.Michel. Mont Saint Michel is an abbey
(dating back to the 8th. century) built on a rock island around a
kilometre off the coast connected by a causeway. The Mont is the second
most popular tourist attraction in France: a visit is a 'Must Do'. For
the children amongst us there are plenty of attractions from zooming
around on go karts at our excellent local track to bungee jumping for
the more adventurous. Or, for something more peaceful there are some
lovely walks in the forest at St Sever, or for shopping with a
difference there are the local Brocantes or Depot Ventes for
inexpensive furniture. A trip to the Zoo at Champrépus (don't miss the
Lemur reserve where the lemurs run freely and mingle with the
visitors!) or the Alligator Bay Reptilarium near Mont St.Michel is also
great for the kids. We can give you more specific information and
recommendations as to the very many local attractions and sights before
or on on your arrival. If you're a wildlife lover, you'll be pleased to
learn that this part of Normandy is positively teeming with wildlife of
all types including many species of birds that are now rare in the UK.
Bring your binoculars! Alternatively of course, you may prefer to
simply spend the day lounging by our swimming pool, reading something
from our small library, playing table tennis or pool or simply enjoying
a stroll through the countryside around La Daviais. The choice is yours!
