NORMANDY SPA COTTAGE

Located in Saint-Ouen-du-Breuil, this welcoming vacation home brings it all within your reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 9-minute drive to Parc du Bocasse or the 11-minute drive to Parc de Cleres (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 1615-sq-ft vacation home, you can unwind by the heated pool or sip a drink in the hot tub; you may also like the garden and fitness center. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

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.
