Normandy gites and cottages to rent: Upper Normandy

If you are looking for gites in Normandy to rent for your next holiday, you are spoilt for choice. There are in fact two regions to choose from: Upper and Lower Normandy. And the two different departments that make up Upper Normandy each offer their own individual charm. For those wanting to be close to the seaside one of the many Seine Maritime gites will provide a perfect location. An Eure gite on the other hand will be more suited for anyone who loves open, rolling countryside and can do without being close to the sea.

Normandy has many farms and forests. Apple orchards and dairy farms produce the essential ingredients of Normandy cuisine. These farms with their characteristic timber framed buildings of all shapes and sizes mean that no two gites in Normandy are alike. And their settings are equally varied, from peaceful villages and hamlets to even more rural, away from it all locations.

Consequently, Normandy gites are very versatile. Some are renovated barns that can accommodate larger groups of family and friends. Others have been made from smaller farmyard buildings and so offer more intimate accommodation ideal for couples, or smaller families. There really is a Normandy gite to suite everyone and all requirements.
