La Calecherie was the coach house for La Maison Ruth and I have restored the building sympathetically to retain original features and incorporate modern comforts using traditional and ecologically-friendly materials and methods; the aim was not to produce what feels like a new building within an old shell but to retain signs of age. The style is eclectic with a distinct Breton feel although we are in the adjacent departement and the antique and vintage furniture is locally found and restored by us; the original kingsize beds (a scarce size in France) include a corbeille that has been reupholstered and recovered - bought from a descendant of the royal family, it gives its name to the Plantagenet Suite. La Calecherie is opposite the church of St Martin de Montbray and set in orchards providing a calm base from which to explore Basse-Normandie; the D-Day Beaches, Bayeaux Tapestry, Mont St Miichel and a host of attractions are within easy reach - the local bar is a ten minute walk away in the village of Montbray.

La Calecherie is situated within easy reach of many places of interest; the D-Day Beaches, Maisy Batterie, Bayeux, Mont St Michel, Villedieu-les-Poeles, Granville and a host of others.
