Appréciations pour Les Grandes Portes, Flottemanville:
A delightful stay
Our party of five had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Les Grandes Portes, a B&B owned and operated by Martine and Serge. The house is very nicely located for a visit to the beaches of D-Day, being 15 minutes from Sainte-Mère Église and 20 minutes from the landing beaches.
They have two rooms, one of which is actually a suite with a small bed room attached. That worked very well for us as our group of five was actually two families. My wife and I took the Azurine room, which has a queen bed and a single. Her sister took the Viaelis room, which has a double bed and then two singles in the attached room, all of which worked very well for her and her two older children.
Martine is fluent in English, which was good since only two of our party had any French at all. We found her and Serge to be a lot of fun to be with and to be very attentive to our needs. They had a very nice continental breakfast laid out for us every morning, including one morning when we were headed to a special event and asked for breakfast at 4:30 AM!
While I don't know if another trip to Normandy is in my future, if it is, I will be staying at Les Grandes Portes!
