Jazz in Lower Normandy

Jazz sous les pommiers
In Normandy, spring and summer bring on the music festivals – “Jazz sous les pommiers” (Jazz under the apple trees) is on from May 16th to May 23rd 2009, in the town of Coutances.

Featuring well-known names such as Ahmad Jamal and the Branford Marsalis Quartet, as well as local talent, it’s a great way to relax and catch some sounds!

Spring is here

A new busy season begins, and La Rieudière is looking forward to showing off its new island! Over winter, we’ve had the lake extended and a little island built. It’s simply great to watch nature go by with a drink in your hand (or you can fish the lake, if you want). Photo soon!

Come and stay at La Rieudière, we’re open all year round. Click here to enquire or to book

Meteorites?

Well, here’s a turn-up for the books!

Apparently it seems Le Teilleul (or thereabouts) was hit by a meteorite in 1845, on the 14th of July, no less (or so says wikipedia!)

Now this ‘ere meteorite is made of howardite, so if you’re superman, you don’t need to worry about any nasty green stuff either; you can just come and enjoy the comfortable house, the lake, the new island, fishing, good food, rest…. 

So, there you have it: the meteorite has already hit here, you don’t have to worry about it… Book now!

Summertime and the pool is ready

Summer is here – warm days, hot afternoons and yes, the pool is open for business! There’s nothing like floating about in that clear blue water sipping a drink. Yes, yes, I suppose you can swim in it too.

For the more energetic swimmers amongst you, there’s always the private lake where you can get a real workout. No chlorine. The occasional labrador may join you for that swim, though!

Come and check it out while the weather’s hot! Click here to book.

The pool is nearly ready

La Rieudière now has a pool! It’s installed and filled, now the water is warming up ready for the hot summer days! Come and check it out, book now.
