La Metairie, Avranches, France
Normandy farmhouse bed and breakfast
La Métairie is a beautifully restored three hundred year old traditional Normandy Farmhouse, offering an exclusive welcome to overnight and long stay visitors alike. We invite guests to enjoy our four acre smallholding set in the heart of rural Normandy. There is ample room for children to play on extensive lawns, away from busy roads, or to enjoy the orchard setting where animals graze. The summer house and outside furniture give the opportunity to relax on warm tranquil evenings after the hustle and bustle of exploring the nearby beaches and mediaeval towns.
We prepare and share four course evening meals with wine and coffee preceded by an aperitif. Where possible, organic produce from the garden is used and we pride ourselves in presenting both interesting and wholesome fare. We welcome vegetarians and coeliacs and will try to accommodate most diets.
We are part of a farming community and many culinary delights can be found within easy reach. These do, of course, include world famous cheeses, cider and calvados. Several towns, including nearby Avranches, hold bustling weekly markets, with an array of stalls selling regional produce from local farms and craftsmen. As expected, seafood is a prominent feature on these occasions. As well as filling your basket, you can give in to temptation of freshly made ‘galettes’.
