In short
Description
Welcome to Normandy in a genuine 35880-liter cider barrel, 4 meters high.
In my authentic cider barrel. It was used until 2008 in the Pont l'Évêque cider mill.
You'll enjoy an unusual stay in the countryside, close to animals and nature. The meadow with the animals is located opposite the barrel, and access is free.
Staying in an unusual accommodation means letting go of everyday comforts and embracing a more rustic way of life, allowing you to disconnect and share enriching times and experiences.
This Normandy-decorated tonneau, full of history, sleeps four (ideal for a couple with two children). On the mezzanine level, accessible by a ladder, you'll find a double bed (140x190), on the ground floor a single bed (80x200) which doubles as a bench, and a hanging bed (80x180). Inside the tonneau you'll find plenty of storage space for your belongings.
The kitchenette is equipped with a gas hob and a water point (250L), (hot water must be heated in the old-fashioned way with a saucepan). I can also provide a cool box if required. USB sockets.
Breakfast is delivered between 8:30 and 10 a.m. in a basket, at an additional cost. This meal includes fruit juice, a hot drink, croissants/chocolate bread or brioche, bread with butter and jam.
Shower with bucket. Alternatively, for washing up, you'll have access to a vanity unit with a bowl, jug and soap dish dating from the same period as the barrel. Gloves and towels are provided.
The dry toilets are located outside in a second cider barrel. As usual, you'll have a comfortable seat and paper.
Jacuzzi open in July and August in the communal areas, sleeps 4. Extra charge 10 euros per person.

Discover our welcome place and our territory
Un brin de Campagne
We live in a renovated farmhouse in the commune of Litteau. In the family home, the children's gîte is open during the school vacations. All year round, we offer full-day and half-day educational activities and animal mediation sessions. We offer daily activities based around nature and animals. We have a donkey, goats and sheep, a farmyard next to the lake, and we grow our own vegetables in a kitchen garden.
For rent: a gite for 6 people and unusual accommodation in a giant barrel for 4 people.
Territory description
We're in the heart of a countryside rich in historical and natural interest. Ferme de la Motte is located in the Normandy bocage, in the heart of the Cerisy forest, on the border between the Manche and Calvados departments, between Bayeux and Saint Lô. Close to the sea, with the D-Day landing beaches and the Cotentin marshes.
