Charming, converted 18th century carriage house attached to a main Chateau where the owners live. Marie-Hélène and her husband Claude could not have been nicer. Situated about a 10 minutes drive west of Bayeux.

Loved the property and its location, Marie-Helene and Claude very welcoming. Kids loved the pool and the grounds, was a great base for us to explore Normandy, would definitely recommend to others, was also lovely to be shown round their own chateau and hear the history behind it.

We loved the location and the fact we were staying in a building built in early 18th century, the host and her husband were welcoming and shared interesting and incredible history of the buildings and their family! The location was so close to DDay sites, grocery stores and museums. We had very peaceful nights in the library with the large French windows open to the breeze and late setting sun each night. The place is large, we had 4 in our family and loved everything about our stay. We would definitely come back!

We stayed here for three nights while we visited the Normandy WWII beaches and sites. It was perfectly located for this. The property was spacious and had plenty of room for a large family if needed. Close proximity to Port en Bassin which had lots of good restaurants and a supermarket nearby. Nice and quiet and peaceful at night. Helene was easy to communicate with and check in and check out were super easy. No problem finding the property with provided address. Fun to stay in a historic site as well.

Historic carriage house

A much needed break after a hectic week in Paris. It was quiet, room to run for children, easy access to Bayeux and the Normandy beaches. The rental is in the converted carriage house of a 17th century chateau replete with history provided by Marie Helene. The premises are “faded” but beds were good, bathrooms updated sufficiently, kitchen a bit of a challenge, library a lovely evening setting. Kids loved the “garden »

Our stay could not have been any nicer! We were met by our landlady and cordially shown the property. She was easy to communicate with from original booking all the way through checkout. The property itself is historical and charming. The kitchen is well equipped and we cooked often using local foods from the Bayeux Market. We enjoyed the outside space and ate in the garden. The bedrooms were large and we thought it would be a perfect set up for a extended family or friends to share. Two bathrooms were a great feature. The location was outstanding for visiting all the sites we planned to see. You do need a car. The rural setting was peaceful and yet convenient. We woke to birds and other animals instead of traffic and city noises. A wonderful way to start our busy days. From this beautiful base we visited Bayeux, St Mere Eglise, Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, Arromenches, and the American Cemetery. We planned to take the train from Bayeux to Caen but we spent more time at the beaches. We picked up our rental car in Caen and it was an easy drive. Thank you, Helene-Marie, for sharing your beautiful family home. We miss the cats greeting us in the driveway as we returned home each evening. The long, stately driveway was something out of Pride and Prejudice. Very grand and welcoming entrance.

Going back in time...

Going back in time...

All in all, I believe we had a wonderful experience. The property, however, has seen better days and needs some investment to redevelop its full potential. But then the price would increase substantially. The mansion setting, however, is fenomenal and if you let your imagination fly you'll be taken to a different era in time . Marie Helene couldn't be a better host and was very helpful at all times, friendly but not intrusive. In addition, you're close to everything your mind fancies: war, history, from Huns to nuns, victory to defeat. The living quarters are spacious, very clean and lighted. Nothing fancy, yet comfortable and adequate. A large ELeclerc mega supermarket is only 10 minutes away and attended to all our needs. Oh, don't forget to ask and be prepared for the vampire...

Our hostess was quite charming and gracious. The location was so close to everything yet private and intimate. We were only about 8 km from Bayeaux and the big grocery store, Leclerc and 15 to 30 minutes from.just about any of the DDay sites and beaches.

Fantastic stay in Normandy

Fantastic stay in Normandy

I brought my parents to Normandy and was so happy to have found Marie and her beautiful chateau. We absolutely had a great 4 days of touring and sightseeing, but equally enjoyed coming home to this magnificent place. Close to Bayeux for the tapestry and other site seeing, we also enjoyed dinners at Port en Bessin which was close and was a beautiful little fishing town. We also drove and did Mont St. Michel and made it back for flag lowering ceremony at 5:00 at the US Military Cemetery above Omaha. Marie was gracious and wonderful host. Her place was wonderful and historic. Will do it again!

We stayed for a week and enjoyed having enough space for everyone (there were 9 of us). The garden area was used by our teenage kids to play badminton, boule, get in the pool, play table tennis and generally charge around. We ate outside a couple of times and used the BBQ supplied which was great. A pleasant and enjoyable holiday.

The accommodations were great for our stay. We were able to comfortably fit 10 people (5 adults and 5 kids) for a total of 4 nights. Marie was gracious and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay and even helped us find the local market and other area attractions. She opened up her house for a tour and was a kind hostess. Marie made sure that the WiFi was up and running and we did not have any issues with it during out stay. If we are ever in the Normandy region again we would stay here again. Thanks for a wonderful time!

Grandmother’s house

Grandmother’s house

We recently stayed here with four kids. This place feels like visiting your grandmother’s house in the country. Older home, but very comfortable. Don’t let the first impression out you off - our stay was very comfortable. The kids loved the ping pong table. The home is very convenient to Bayeux and the Normandy beaches. My only complaint is that the WiFi was very slow - my 256kb T-Mobile service was much faster.

Thank you very much Marie for a lovely time, Carla

I stayed here with three friends on our tour of the Normandy battlefields and other cultural attractions. The village itself is very small but has a friendly bakery that opens everyday except Wednesday. The nearest town Port-en-Bassin is a short drive away and has a small supermarket and restaurants bars etc. Our host was very welcoming and upon our arrival took us to the town and showed us the local facilities. The location is very quiet but close enough to Bayeax and the major shops and main road to be very convenient. The house is quite basic but clean and functional and has all we needed for our stay, the weather was great so we BBQ'd every evening and ate on a large table in the rear courtyard. The highlight for me was watching a sparrow hawk hunting for bats over the back garden at dusk. The pool is clean and great for a cool down after a long day out, the walled garden would be very suitable for families with children but you would need to supervise them in the pool. Our host gave us a guided tour of the main chateaux which was very interesting and very worthwhile. Overall an excellent stay and good value for money. Très bien merci Martin.

Wonderful stay at Chateau de Vaulaville

Wonderful stay at Chateau de Vaulaville

Oh wow! What a beautiful & amazing place to stay! We traveled here with my family (husband, kids--14, 11, 6-- and myself) as well as uncle & cousin. We had plenty of room! The Chateau is very close to the DDay Beaches, Port-en-Bessin and Bayeux (15-20min drive). The history of the property is so fascinating and our hostess, Marie Helene, was so kind & helpful! She shared with us much about her family's history in the area, as well as touring us in her home. The Chateau itself is wonderful--an almost 300 year old "castle" (as my kids called it), but with a few modern conveniences. The kitchen & baths are updated, and the bedding is comfortable. There is nothing overly fancy about the inside, but everything works & you do feel like you are living in a piece of history. The kitchen is fine--we didn't cook meals here, but instead had baguettes & cheese & wine & there were ample plates, glasses & cutlery. My one suggestion would be to provide a few dish towels (bath towels are provided). The kids enjoyed visiting with the donkeys in the adjoining field, as well as the many farm kitties. It is so quiet here--someday I would love to come back just to enjoy the relaxing locale (too many great things to do, though--we explored the Normandie area a LOT!) We took many day trips from this perfectly central location: Omaha, Utah Beaches, Bayeux, Caen, Mont St Michel, Saint Malo. We also explored the closest town of Port-en-Bessin, which has nice restaurants & shops as well as a lovely harbor. Thank you Marie Helene for sharing your home & your history with us. We will never forget our time here!

Idyllic Setting in Normandy - Historic Chateau located proximate to Paris and heritage sites

Idyllic Setting in Normandy - Historic Chateau located proximate to Paris and heritage sites

It is difficult to express what a special place this is. In planning a side trip from Paris to Normandy, I searched high and low for a location that would combine ease of access with the beauty of the French countryside. What I found was beyond my expectations - so much so that I booked the large house (can sleep 8 to 10 comfortably) for my family of three. The outbuilding is spacious, clean and very well-equipped (they truly thought of everything). While the house is gorgeously historic, the bathrooms are modern and the kitchen is up-to-date, which made for a very comfortable visit. The house has a beautiful library full of books (French, some English and beautiful coffee table books, many about Normandy), games and DVDs though to be honest, we never turned on the TV. The grounds are lovely and my son loved running around visiting the donkey, the cat and the horses on property. The house is proximate to Utah Beach and Omaha Beach, Caen and Bayeux. It is also reasonably close to Rouen and the lovely seaside towns of Honfleur, Trouville and Deauville. While there are no larger markets in the town, one can find everything in Bayeux which is a lovely town within a short driving distance. One of the highlights of the trip was meeting Marie-Helene and her husband, the proud custodians of this historic gem, who proved to be warm, caring and gracious hosts. They shared with us the property's proud history, as well as that of their family, which was very moving. We had such a special visit to Normandy and much of it had to do with the character of the house and its owners. We long to visit again.

This home away property was ideal for this family of 5 from the u.s. We loved the location 10 mins from Bayeix and surrounding towns in Normandy. It was easy to see the notable historic areas related to D-Day events. The spacious property allowed for needed "down time" in the early evenings. Kids could run around the property or chill out with extensive DVD selection. Kitchen allowed for breakfasts and it was easy to prepare dinner at home as well. The bathrooms were clean and adequate and our host was accessible and welcoming. There were many neighboring restaurants in towns nearby. All in all it was a positive experience and I would recommend the property.

Great place for a family!

Great place for a family!

A delightful June week in Normandy! Six adults and 2 grandkids, ages 5 and 11 enjoyed absorbing French history In Marie's Outbuilding. Mimi and Papa slept in the large bedroom with four twin beds and our two daughters with husbands each had a large private bedroom. It is conveniently located about 6 minutes from Bayeux and 10 minutes from Port Au Bessie. The property is accurately described, and as long as you understand the building really is a few hundred years old with all that entails, you should not be disappointed. The kitchen is well appointed and each morning we would drink our coffee while exploring the grounds, then meet for breakfast in the large dining room to plan the day's activities. In the late afternoon the kids enjoyed the trampoline or visiting with the two resident donkeys. The "library" is fully stocked with hundreds of videos (many in English) and books (mostly French). Marie is a wonderful hostess, and her tour of the castle and recounting of her family history was a highlight. One evening she guided us to her favorite restaurant in Port Au Bessin. Rent this property to experience the French countryside, history and have convenient access to the D-Day Beaches and Normandy sites. Realize it is not a 4 or 5 star hotel property, and if it tried to be it would losel its charm and attraction.

Just lovely!

Just lovely!

We had a wonderful time at Vaulaville as a family of 5 adults and, as others have said, Marie-Helene was most gracious and helpful and her English is very good. She is particularly proud of her heritage (with good reason) and provided a tour of the chateau itself where she tells the story of her mother being a part of the French resistance and the medals that were awarded to her and her grandfather. Very moving. The outbuilding was spacious, clean, well-maintained and the kitchen had all we could ask for. What is does not have is a television connection (only for DVD use) but there are DVD’s in English and also some books in English. However, wifi is included and it helped to keep up with the news. As has been mentioned, it is not a home for anyone who needs handicapped accessibility due to the spiral staircase, but my husband who has mobility issues was able to maneuver the staircase and the 5 stairs which lead to the kitchen and the rooms we used. The walk-in shower was particularly useful. It's in a great location for all we wanted to do and more. We spent two days touring the WWII battle sites (we could have spent longer), a day at Mont-Ste-Michel, an afternoon relaxing in Porte-en-Bessin and a day in Bayeux, all within reasonable distance. For touring the area, I would definitely recommend a GPS as the road signs don’t tell you what direction you are heading in but only the town names. If they are not on your paper map, you are out of luck. We got lost several times even with the GPS and our 9-passenger van (needed because of luggage and a wheel chair) had to be driven down several single-lane roads which was dicey at times. (It was also an ‘adventure’ driving it through the arch at the castle but that was part of the fun!) English is spoken some by most people in stores and restaurants but knowing some French is obviously a benefit. A word of caution when touring: many places close for lunch which is what we encountered at Pointe du Hoc. As we were on a time schedule, we were not able to wait an hour to see the movie so I suggest planning accordingly. Most of the WWII touring sites have a movie which helps to explain the area you are visiting. Our family had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend staying at the Outbuilding of Vaulaville Castle.

This was a terrific place to experience. The location was terrific for exploring the WW II beaches (our goal) as well as surrounding area. Our 10 yr. old grandsons had a ball & loved the ping pong provided as well. Marie Helene and her husband were very helpful and accommodating. The house tour at the end of our stay was a special treat. A very reasonable price for such a lovely setting and warmth of our hosts!!

My wife, Ellie, and I spent a marvelous week here with our three grown grandchildren. For us, the accommodations and the location were perfect, and Marie could not have been a more charming and helpful host. Please understand if you are considering this rental that it is an old building, with creaks and groans, but for all of us, that was a large part of its charm. The location is superb, surrounded by fields with cattle, sheep and horses grazing and very close to Bayeux (10 minutes to the center), Port-en-Bessin-Huppain (a picturesque fishing village where an important battle was fought shortly after D-Day) and the D-Day beaches. Isle St. Michel is about an hour and fifteen minutes away and there are many other interesting sights close by. The small city of Bayeux is charming and very accessible by car. Its cathedral is a striking example of Romanesque and Gothic architecture and the famous tapestry celebrating William the Conqueror's victory at the Battle of Hastings is not to be missed. Also definitely not to be missed is a tour of the Vaulaville Chateau and Marie's telling of the history of her family, very interesting and moving. Summing up, the property was very clean, there was everything you would need to prepare meals, the grounds are spacious and lovely, and I would not hesitate to recommend this accommodation.

Marie Helene - I cannot thank you enough for your kindness & generosity during our stay at your breathtakingly beautiful chateau. It was beyond our wildest expectations. My children still talk about staying at the "castle" and how much fun they had. It was one of the best experiences of our lives and to be able to share it with our entire family made it all the better. The memories we have of the week we spent there will forever warm our hearts. Thank you does not do justice for the kindness you showed us by welcoming us into your lovely home. The Lutes Family

We had a wonderful visit and were treated very warmly. We would recommend the Chateau to anyone traveling to the area. The history of this place is fascinating, and we found the people of the whole Normandy area very friendly and accommodating. We give it our highest recommendation!

We were a family of five (the youngest of whom is 7) with a visiting 70 year old father. This location was perfect for us. The castle was well-situated with an easy drive for the sights we were there to see (Normandy beaches and Bayeux). Marie-Helene was a very gracious host and was waiting on us there when we arrived. She showed us around and offered to give us a tour of the main building, which we took her up on during our second day there. She shared some of her personal family history with us,which was AMAZING, as her family was very involved in some key events in the history of France, especially WWII. It opened our eyes to the contributions of many of the French people, and this personal touch made our trip even more special. She was also very appreciative of Americans, which is always nice to hear when you are traveling in Europe! The house itself that we stayed in (built in the early 1700's) was beautiful and well-maintained. It was a bit drafty (being a 300 year old house!) but the radiators were all new and worked great so we were never cold. The fireplace in the library (our favorite room!) was stocked with firewood and we enjoyed a fire every night. The library was full of books and had a VERY large selection of DVDs. There were also board games and kids books. Oh, and there was a ping pong table downstairs in the garage which we all had fun with. The castle's location was great and allowed us to spend a minimal amount of time in the car, but allowed us to see everything that we wanted to see in a short period of time. All things considered, the house was in great shape, and gave a truly unique feel to our visit. Keep in mind, if you are the type that doesn't like staying in older houses and feels more comfortable in chain hotels, then this might not be for you. Bottom line, if you want to stay in beautiful chateau with an incredible history, this is the place for you. We hope to visit again soon!

Our family of 9 stayed at Marie's house for a week. My five children (ages 5 to 15) loved this house. It was quiet and spacious making for well rested travelers. There was plenty to do including movies to watch, books and puzzles. My kids even tried to read Garfield in French! Outside they enjoyed the pool, trampoline and farm animals. One daughter cried when it was time to leave. We cooked all of our breakfasts and most dinners on our own. Marie provided a BBQ for us to use. There is a grocery store nearby in Bayeux. I enjoyed learning about the chateau and its history. Marie gave us a tour of the main castle. I loved hearing her stories of her family and the house. While staying there we traveled to Bayeux which is a charming town. We also visited Mt. Ste. Michel and the D-day beaches. I highly recommend this property for a larger group that wants independence and freedom to set their own schedule. I'm so glad we got the chance to stay with Marie. I hope that someday I will be able to return.

A highlight from our family's many VRBO stays across Europe in the last year. Location is perfect for D-Day sightseeing. Hosts went "above and beyond" to make our stay great - waited up for late arrival, allowed us to tour Chateau, responded promptly to our questions/requests. As noted, guesthouse is older but comfortable, very charming and spacious. Great memories playing sports in the large yard and board games with a fire in the cozy library. Highly recommended for those who appreciate character and great service.

The chateau needs work especially in the bathrooms to make taking a shower easy to accomplish. The second bathroom floor needs to be replaced so that it is safe. One of the beds needs another mattress and/or box spring. The area is beautiful, but the house needs work to make the stay comfortable. Currently, I would characterize this property as roughing it. I would not recommend this property until the repairs or upgrades are completed. The owner was pleasant and helpful in recommending a place to go for dinner.

After a busy week in Paris, we wanted to relax and see the D-Day sites around Normandy. The spacious cottage of this 18th century chateau was the perfect spot. Our children enjoyed running all over the grounds and playing on the swings and slide. We also had nightly Ping-Pong tournaments. None of the D-Day sites were more than 30 min from the chateau. Ms. Helen was a gracious and helpful hostess. The chateau has been in her family for generations and she is anxious to share that history while taking you on a tour of the buildings. It is a quiet, beautiful setting where our family enjoyed time together. Highly recommended for families with small or multiple children.

If you are looking for a convenient location for touring Normandy – this is it. Vaulaville is located perfectly for exploring all of the D-day sights, Bayeux, Caen and even Le Mont St. Michel as a day trip. The area is very scenic and located amongst beautiful villages and farms. The owner of the property is a wonderful host! Marie speaks excellent English and is a great communicator. When we arrived, she took the time to explain everything about the property and even gave us a tour of the main castle which is fascinating and shows the impressive interior and architecture of that time. For those with an interest in World War II, Marie described the impact of the war on her family and the area. Especially interesting was the story of her mother’s participation in the French Résistance and her father’s participation in the Air Force – all of it is remarkable giving you a first-hand account of the events that you will never get from reading a book. We also had many wonderful conversations with her about the history of the area and its attractions. Our kids loved the property. They played ping-pong indoors and bounced for hours on the outdoor trampoline. They also enjoyed reading books from the large library which has both French and English books and media. The entry to the property is beautiful – a long driveway with huge trees on both sides just like you would see in the movies. The outbuilding is quite large and truly has room for 10 guests though the kitchen would likely be too small to cook for that many people. There are cooking supplies, dinnerware, silverware and anything else you might need for stay at home meals. All of the rooms are quite spacious. There was ample storage space for clothes and luggage. The rooms are decorated for the time period as shown in the photos of the property. Currently (March 2013), wireless internet is only available in the Chateau due to the very thick walls typical of the period in which it was built. However, Marie was very accommodating in allowing us to use the internet in the Chateau whenever needed. I believe she is working on a solution to provide full time internet in the outbuilding – you may want to ask her about it if this is very important to you. Marie is a warm, friendly and wonderfully kind person who will really add to your enjoyment of the property.
