La Marquetterie is a small family run establishment offering two comfortable double rooms with 'little extras' for your enjoyment. The property dates back to 1850, and is a traditional longere or long house . The location is in the Normandy countryside, made famous by the events of D-Day and the subsequent battle for Normandy. We are close to many historical sites, museums, memorials and the American sector landing beaches, code-named Utah and Omaha. There are many beautiful towns and villages in the area. The nearest town of Periers is an eight minute drive away and offers a large supermarket, boulangerie, pattiserie, cartoucherie, boucherie, several small restaurants and a delightful Saturday morning market. There are also several small banks and a post office. A car is essential in order to explore the area and we can advise on places of interest to visit. We would advise using a satellite navigation system in your car which will make getting around very easy, it will also guide you easily to the property from whatever area you are traveling.

Your hosts, Pat and Elaine Scott, moved to France in 2016 as a result of their appearance on the television programme A Place in the Sun. We share a keen interest in WW2 history and re-enactment. We have a small museum/library displaying period memorabilia, artefacts, publications and artwork on site. Pat is on hand to happily answer any questions you may have. Our pride and joy is a WW2 US Willys Jeep, named Joycie. We enjoy spending time in our lovely garden which boasts a large lawn, covered patio/eating area, brick BBQ and herb garden and large vegetable patch We enjoy walking our two well behaved dogs. Other members of the family include 2 Cockerels and 2 outdoor cats. We enjoy food and drink, and can find speciality cheeses, wines and cider from the local area. We also enjoy the rich and varied wildlife that the surrounding countryside offers including buzzards, jays, kestrels, owls, woodpeckers, deer, rabbits and hares etc.

Our rural setting on the edge of a small commune called NAY, offers peace and tranquillity. However, it is within easy reach of an abundance of places of interest, larger towns, coastline and beautiful beaches. Other activities in the larger towns include bowling, swimming, cinemas, Normandy Luge and the fabulous Mont st Michel plus an array of cafés, bars and restaurants.
