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
