Stunning Norman Manor, 2 Hours from Paris

Close to sailing, windsurfing, and more, this smoke-free villa brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 6-minute drive to Les Jardins du Pays d'Auge or the 5-minute drive to Calvados Pierre Huet (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax in the garden (enjoy the outdoor furniture!) or sip a drink on the deck or patio of this 2153-sq-ft villa. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

A living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and a fireplace are featured at this 6-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
