A warm welcome from Françoise and her husband. This beautifully converted barn in Le Vast made a great base for our first visit to another attractive and interesting part of France. We particularly enjoyed visits to the north coast, thanks to helpful advice from Françoise, and to Barfleur and Saint Vaast-La-Hougue. We also enjoyed walks around the beautiful village. The local boulangerie is outstanding with one shop just minutes away from the gite (a 2nd one is situated at the other end of the village, a longer walk, if the local one is closed).
