3 Bedrooms Apartment Chateau Bellenau

Chateau Bellenau is situated in the heart of the beautiful countryside, about 40 minutes from the port of Cherbourg near the East coast of la Manche, Normandy. We have six self-catering holiday rental apartments (or in Normandy, gites), a charming folly vacation rental cottage and 2 gipsy caravans set within 9 acres of unique 19th Century landscaped gardens. These rental apartments are in converted barns, some dating back to the 15th century, set around a communal courtyard adjacent to this holiday rental chateau. This holiday gites rental in Manche are a short drive from wonderful sandy beaches, and ideally placed for visiting the D-Day landing sites (Bellenau was the first vacation Chateau rental to be liberated after the Utah beach landings.)

Possible day trips include Mont St. Michel, Paris by train from Carentan, medieval Bayeux, or the Channel Islands. The market town of Carentan is 5 minutes drive away, and has a good variety of shops, supermarkets, cafes and restaurants, as well as a vibrant market on Monday mornings. There are many fetes and fairs and bric-a-brac sales throughout the year, to give you a taste of local life. Nearby sporting and leisure activities nearby include: tennis; swimming; golf; clay pigeon shooting; horse & donkey riding; canoeing; wind and kite surfing; sailing and land yachting; birdwatching; fishing; walking. This holiday rental Chateau is within the National Parc des Marais with its wealth of fauna and flora. The Ponts d\'Ouve nature reserve is 1km away.
