COTTAGES ARE LOCATED NEAR THE BRITTANY AMERICAN WAR CEMETARY AT SAINT-JAMES, FRANCE
65TH ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY LANDINGS - JUNE 2009

Located in a small hamlet on the borders of the Departments of Ille-et-Vilaine (Brittany) and Manche (Normandy) these two traditional Breton cottages are set in peaceful rural surroundings with open undulating countryside yet are close to all amenities. South facing, they enjoy delightful views across meadowland and nestle alongside a beautiful copse. To the front of the properties is an enclosed courtyard and landscaped grounds and to the rear our own field. Within easy reach is the Normandy town of St James (approximately 4 kms) which is famous for "Tricot St James", a celebrated manufacturer of high quality leisurewear. St James will accommodate your everyday needs with its well-stocked supermarket and out of town hypermarket with petrol station, street market (Mondays), post office, banks, bakers/patisseries, bistro, bars and good restaurants.

A little closer to the cottages is the village of St Georges de Reintembault in Brittany (approximately 2 kms) where you will find several bakers, bars, a post office, restaurant and a commercial centre with a small supermarket, petrol station, bank and pharmacy.

The privately owned cottages make an ideal holiday base for touring Brittany, Normandy and beyond and are convenient to the ports of Cherbourg, Caen or St Malo; a 1-2 hour drive.

Le Havre and Dieppe are also possible - about a 3 hour drive.
