Moulin l'évêque gites
Three traditional modernised Normandy cottages in the Calvados region of Normandy for rambling, fishing, back-to-nature, family holidays. The region is a natural place, a very French place. If you want peace, natural life, with time to walk along the river, go fishing, play some golf or tennis, take a trip to the sea, sail on a quiet inland lake, wander through a rural landscape and return renewed, then come to Campeaux along the banks of the River Vire, close to the heart of Normandy, France.

An old Normandy millhouse set in over three hectares of land. This group of three traditional Normandy gîtes are located in an area of outstanding beauty along the banks of the Vire River, at the bottom of the Vire Gorges - 1.25 miles (2km) from the village of Campeaux, where all facilities are available, 8 miles (13km) from historic Vire with its many sports facilities, museums and shopping. The gites/holiday cottages are ideal to let individually or even better for a three generation or extended family affording the benefit of a family holiday together but ensuring all parties have their own space.
The three gîtes available are all sympathetic conversions of old stone outbuildings. They are all fully equipped for the perfect self catering holiday. They all enjoy shared and private unfenced river frontage and breathtaking grounds. These exceptional gites provide an excellent base for walkers and ramblers to explore the numerous designated walking routes in this area of unbelievable outstanding beauty. This 1km stretch of the river Vire is yours to freely fish for trout, salmon and eels.
The gites of Moulin l'évêque are close to Vire, Campeux (3km) and
Le Bény-Bocage (6 km) which has a pharmacy, bar, boulangerie/patisserie
and epicerie, tennis, horse riding and an excellent restaurant - and within easy
reach of many of the fabulous Normandy and Brittany beaches and attractions in
the area. The Medieval town of Bayeux is well worth a visit, as are the charming
fishing village of Honfleur and millionnaires' playground Deauville. There are
many other historic towns to visit such as Mont St Michel, Flers. Parks, chateaux,
shops, markets, golf courses, horse riding, fishing and sailing are all available
locally. Campeaux is a great launching pad for exploring the Calvados and Normandy
region. The Vire Valley offers a landscape of rolling hills and occasional gorges,
local cider, its Calvados (much of it bootleg), fruit pastries and sausages made
from pigs' intestines.
The owner lives in a neighbouring gite and is always available to ensure your holiday cottage and stay are as comfortable as possible.
