A house that brings people together

Simple joys
have their home.

This half-timbered family house is tucked away in Danestal, between the orchards of the Pays d’Auge and the beaches of the Côte Fleurie. Here, days begin in the morning dew and end by the fire.

The enclosed, tree-lined 8,000 m² grounds give everyone their own space, while a gentle stream traces the edge of the garden.

Welcome to our home

“I imagined this house as a place to set down your bags, where time slows down a little.”

Christophe, together with his daughter Claire, has looked after this Normandy house for six years. He’s always happy to share his favourite market, the best route to the beach, and the hidden corners of the Pays d’Auge.
