A wealthy Parisian built Manoir Sainte Cécile in 1900 on the site of an old gendarmerie. The house and accommodation sits in its own private grounds and lands of 10 acres with mature trees, pond and original "cidre pressoir". The property is on the main route from Paris to Mont St Michel, between the historical medieval town of Domfront and the beautiful spa town of Bagnoles de L'Orne.
The Manoir provides all types of accommodation for anyone seeking a warm welcome and relaxing holiday in central Normandy.
There are places to visit to suit all tastes and interests, quaint villages where time seems to have stood still, to beautiful beaches and enchanting chateaux.
There are large area of forests and parks ideal for walking and cycling, while Mont St Michel is an hour by car to the west, the D-Day Landing beachs are 1.5 hours to the north, Versaille and Paris is 2.5 hours to the east, and Le Mans is 1.5 hours to the south.
We are 7 kms from the renown and very picturesque Thermal Spa town Of Bagnoles de l'Orne that offers treatments for rheumatism, blood and circulatory problems for clients from France and further afield.
Domfront (10 km) was the Medieval town that was the seat of Henry II and Richard the Lionheart when England ruled this part of France. The remains of their stronghold castle can be visited, perched on top of a rocky outcrop overlooking the surrounding countryside towards the department of Mayenne.
The area is steeped in history linking both Britain and France. It offers a relaxing and culturally stimulating area to visit, with lots to experience and do, combined with the charm of a local population that is warm and welcoming to all visitors.
