Alençon, La Basse Normandie, Address available on request

A renovated 19th century farmhouse, wooded garden and meadow in the ancient Houlme region, near Domfront and Flers. A 10-minute walk from the hamlet of Val-Michel with its traditional cob and wood or granite houses, a small, quiet, winding road leads to the entrance to the old farmhouse. A fence with two round wooden rails has a plain gate, which opens onto a courtyard and its lime tree. A green hedge planted with a variety of species follows the shape of the hilly area surrounding the garden. Inside the courtyard are the house and an old cowshed, which faces a barn and an old stable.
