By Monique Delanoue-Paynot

Head to the Normandy countryside, where the hotel La Chaumière, a beautiful half-timbered building, is nestled in a rural and coastal landscape near the town of Deauville. – La Chaumière Honfleur @Patricia Parinejad

Looking to buy an apartment or a villa on the Normandy coast?
Consultants Immobilier is waiting for you at its agency in Deauville. What’s on offer? Properties that align with your desires and budget… And for a stay full of good vibes, head to “Le Domaine de la Chaumière”! A peaceful haven set over 5 hectares, nestled between the sea and the countryside, where you can unpack your bags and relax in complete serenity.

Trouville and its seaside by Claude Monet

A less than two hours from Paris and just 15 minutes from Deauville/Trouville, Honfleur is the perfect destination for a dream weekend in the heart of the Normandy countryside. Fancy a leisurely stroll? Between art, culture, and culinary delights, head to the Eugène Boudin Museum, celebrating the bicentennial of the birth of the artist who was a precursor of Impressionism, and explore the connection with Monet and Courbet, who came here to study colors. Visit the Sainte-Catherine Church, with its wooden structure built by shipyard workers in the 15th century, and of course, enjoy an unmissable seafood tasting facing the iconic Old Harbor! In short, you’ll never tire of (re)discovering this charming town in the Calvados region, where a bucolic environment, the beautiful light of the Seine estuary, and renowned artists all come together.

Spontaneous weekend or romantic getaway?

All that’s left is to unpack your bags in one of the beautiful homes transformed into luxury guesthouses by caring and welcoming owners. We recommend Vasouy! In this green haven with direct access to the beach, there are two complementary places to stay: “La Chaumière,” a charming hotel with 9 rooms, a cottage, and a seaside restaurant; and “Le Manoir de la Plage,” a lovely guesthouse with 6 rooms located in a beautifully renovated building.

We are welcomed by the Boelen family, especially Marie-Pier (her brother, Jean-Marie, owns “La Ferme Saint Siméon” in Honfleur), who has hospitality in her genes. Her strength? Offering a hotel concept focused on simplicity and warmth. It’s a kind of blend between the codes of a hotel and the feel of staying at a friend’s home.

Filled with good vibes, this lifestyle embraces a return to simple pleasures, providing refreshing, relaxing, and soothing seaside escapes. Disconnection, relaxation, and cocooning are the key elements here, with a bonus of numerous sports activities to enjoy freely. The motto? Savor the beautiful things in life to the sound of nearby waves.

For those needing to unwind, direct beach access allows for long walks before diving into the relaxation pool: a heated indoor pool that can be reserved for added privacy and comfort, combined as desired with outdoor tennis and/or a yoga and fitness room.

And at aperitif hour, why not gather on the pétanque court? A guaranteed moment of conviviality! Later in the evening, head to the restaurant with its ideal decor: exposed beams, soft lighting, a large fireplace, and a sumptuous terrace with views of the sea and a sunset as a bonus. On the culinary side, epicureans with a taste for organic products will enjoy a menu crafted from fresh ingredients from the garden and local terroir.
