    La Ferme aux Chats was a nice relaxing place to stay, and a very convenient location for exploring Normandy and World War II history. Joelle was a warm and welcoming hostess, the room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfasts were delicious and food was plentiful; lots of fresh baked goods. We also purchased one of her sack lunches for one of our travel days. It proved to be quite lovely. I would highly recommend this B and B.


    Perfect!

    Well, what a wonderful experience! Joelle is an incredible hostess. We were the only guests during our visit so we were really spoiled by having the whole house to ourselves. The weather was perfect so we enjoyed a glass of wine on the patio each evening. Very convenient to all the D-Day beaches and the cemeteries. Bravo, Joelle!!

    This is a very clean and comfortable B&B, located about 1/4 mile from the N13 a major highway. The farm grounds are well kept, and quite beautiful. The village is pretty as well. We picked this for proximity to all WW11 sites and for commuting to Mont Saint Michele as well many other sites in the Normandy region. Keeping value in mind we could not have done better. Joelle and Loic were very friendly and informative and that is invaluable when visiting a foreign country. Breakfasts are delicious and filling, fruits, breads, jams, yogurts, juice and coffee all homemade and local products. We could not have been more pleased with our stay. Amber and Ken USA

    La Ferme aux Chats is a beautiful farmhouse. The rooms were exceedingly clean and the bathroom was lovely. It was great to be able to sit outside in the evening and enjoy a glass of wine in the late summer sunshine! Our hosts recommended we visit the American and German war memorials to see the contrast between the two, and we were so glad we did - we even went on to a British one afterwards as well and the difference between all three was startling. A trip well worth making. I would definitely recommend Le Ferme aux Chats and will glady stay again if I am in the area!
