A Gite holiday in France, that's to everyone's taste!
Brittany / Normandy Border

AREA

Mon Goût is perfectly situated to enjoy the delights of both Brittany and Normandy. Both have a very rich and varied heritage. Normandy's many monuments, abbeys and ancient buildings have influences as far back as Viking Norsemen in the 9th century. Brittany is steeped in history and very proud of its maritime tradition and culture. Both are famous for their cuisine. Seafood, Crepes and Gallettes in Brittany and Calvados, Cheese and Cream in Brittany to name just a few of the delicacies available.

Whatever you want in a holiday, these delightful and varied regions have something for everyone!


Mon Goût is just a couple of miles from the villages of St Georges de Reintembault (Brittany) in one direction and St Martin de Landelles (Normandy) in the other. Both are lively villages with a good range of shops, including - bakers, butchers, a small supermarket, banks, post office, pharmacies etc. St Georges de Reintembault also has a small Hotel/restaurant.

All around is beautiful rolling countryside and pretty villages and yet you are just half an hour away from the sea.
