    Description

    We're an English family living in the beautiful rural Normandy countryside in a gorgeous stone-built 17th century farmhouse.
    We have a selection of animals including, chickens many ducks and 3 llamas!
    We're currently renovating a barn.
    This year, we've given over one of our fields and planted a fruit tree orchard.
    There's always lots going on and in our downtimes, it's a wonderful setting to kick back, relax and recharge
