The landlady of 'La Maison sur le Quai' welcomes you in 'Un Bateau sous mon Transat', old fishermen's house located directly on the sea front in Port-en-Bessin, Normandy, on the landing beaches. In this stylish gite with charm, design and exceptional sea views, you will enjoy the sea view through the windows, from your bed and even from the shower, and the coming and going of the boats at high tide. At low tide, you can lounge on the sand in the outer harbour, at the foot of the house. Complete renovation in 2011-12, antique furniture and antique sailors’ objects mix with raw materials. New equipment and high degree of comfort. Quiet location. 2 steps away, direct sale from anglers every morning, close to all shops and restaurants, parking in front of the house, free garage and parking nearby. Ideal for 2 couples or a family with up to 5 people: 2 bedrooms (1 double and 1 triple), office, 3 bathrooms, table football. No pets.

In Normandy, in the Calvados, in the heart of the landing beaches, 10 km away from Arromanches, Bayeux and Omaha Beach (American cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer), in a traditional fishing harbour and marina, genuine and preserved. Port-en-Bessin is particularly known for its Scallop fishing. The Bessin is a very nice region with a great historical richness (Bayeux's tapestry and Cathedral, manor-farms, castles, gardens, abbeys, landing beaches and museums, etc.). Beautiful countryside landscapes and Norman marshlands. On both sides of Port-en-Bessin, the coast allows nice walks along its long sand beaches and seaside resorts from the beginning of the century. The cultural centre of Port-en-Bessin regularly organises visits: auction, boat workshops and semaphore. Many sports...including Omaha Beach golf course on site, hikes, coastal path walks, fishing, walks on the old rigging, etc. 1h30 from the Mont Saint Michel, We fall in love with Honfleur, Deauville, Pays d'Auge, the Cotentin...

                                                    A fantastic house in a sweet village so close to the ocean, its music and its smell! The house is beautifully decorated with touch of the past along with top moder amenities. All was tight and clean and Laurence, the owner, was lovely and very helpful. I obviously will recommend the place to all my friends and next time in Normandy, I will certainely go back inspite the inconvinience of too much stairs... The location is fantastic for trips to the whole area, from Honfleur in the the north to St. Malo and Cancal in the south-west. But you need a car for it. We used to buy fish and fruit de mer in the dailly fishermen narket just across the quai and enjoy cooking and eating them in the comfortable kitchen in the house. Don't miss it - it's a real gem!!

                                                    Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

                                                    We had an absolutely terrific time at Un Bateau sous mon Transat. First, on arriving, we met Laurence at the cottage and she was kind, welcoming and full of useful information about the area. Second, the cottage itself exceeded our expectations in every way. The view was spectacular, the town was utterly charming and quiet away from the tourist hordes yet convenient to all the sites, and the interior decorating was so professionally done we were almost reluctant to bring in our bags to disrupt it. Every room in the cottage was beautifully done yet not overdone, It is perfect for romantic retreat for a couple, and just as great for a family vacation spot. The tide change was amazing, and our kids loved walking on the exposed ocean floor at low tide. It was hard to leave and we'll be back.

                                                    Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Familienurlaub in Porte-en-Bessin. Das Ferienhaus hat unsere Erwartungen vollumfänglich erfüllt - Lage, Ausstattung und Zustand sind ausgezeichnet. Laurence, die Gastgeberin ist überaus hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Wir würden jederzeit wieder einen Urlaub in diesem Domizil verbringen. Familie mit Kindern in Alter von 5+8 Jahren.

                                                    Wir haben in dem von Laurence perfekt eingerichteten Ferienhaus eine sehr sehr schöne Woche in der Nordmandie verlebt. Die Küche als Mittelpunkt des Hauses ist perfekt eingerichtet und es fehlt an nichts - sogar ein kleiner Kräutergarten im Hinterhof steht zur Verfügung! Die Kommunikation hat von Anfang bis Ende perfekt funktioniert und Laurence hat uns mit viel Informationen zum Ort und zur Umgebung versorgt. So konnten wir von unserer schönen Basis aus die Umgebung mit Stränden, Schlössern und Gärten erkunden. Die leckeren Croissants und das Baguette Tradition aus der nahegelegenen Bäckerei haben den Frankreich-Urlaub perfekt gemacht! Und... Duschen mit Blick auf den Hafen und Ärmelkanal - wo gibt es das schon?! Das Haus ist live noch viel schöner als die Bilder im Netz.

                                                    The freshly renovated building is created by a lovely owner, Laurence, who is the most helpful and welcoming person. We felt home from the moment we stepped in the house. For writing and for relaxation, for holiday and for inspiring encounters with the sea and the rolling waves - it is a pefect place in all means. The decoration is beautiful and the equipment is more than one has in its own household - perfect as well. There is nothing to complain, it is just the right place to be.

                                                    Maison bien décorée, bien équipée, propre, on se sent comme à la maison !! L'avantage est que les draps, serviettes de toilettes sont fournis. Quand une personne a besoin de calme, elle peut se mettre sur un fauteuil et ouvrir la fenêtre pour entendre le bruit de la mer et des mouettes. A marée basse, les enfants peuvent tranquillement se balader pieds-nus sur la plage qui se trouve à proximité de la maison. Ils peuvent aussi ramasser des coquillages ou des cailloux. N'oublions les tournois de baby-foot en prenant l'apéritif ! A Port-en-Bessin, tout y est : le fromage, les poissons, les crustacés, jus de pomme, cidre, bons petits restaurants, ... Et bien sûr, les belles ballades. Durant notre séjour, nous sommes allés sur les plages d'Omaha Beach, au Mont Saint Michel et à la Cité de la mer à Cherbourg.

                                                    Nous avons passé un séjour parfait dans cette maison où nous nous sommes tout de suite sentis comme chez nous, le temps d'un séjour partagé en famille au gré des marées, des rappels historiques.. et des prépartions culinaires dans la majestueuse cuisine. A conseiller d'urgence!

                                                    Wir haben eine tolle Woche in dem wunderschönen Haus "Un Bateau sous mon Transat" verbracht. Das Haus entsprach in allen Belangen unseren Vorstellungen und Erwartungen. Es ist sehr gut mit allem Erdenklichen eingerichtet (sogar CD's, DVD's, Reiseführer, Kochbücher etc. etc.). Von unserem ersten schriftlichen Kontakt, über den sehr netten Empfang mit Blumen und Kostprobe aus der Region sowie vielen nützlichen Informationen, bis zum E-Mail nach unsere Rückkehr: Laurence war eine perfekte Gastgeberin (vielen herzlichen Dank für die vielen guten Tipps...). Ebenso perfekt ist die Lage des Hauses in Port en Bessin: Gegenüber dem Fischmarkt, in Gehdistanz von Bäckerei, kleinen Supermärkten, Geschäften mit lokalen Spezialitäten etc. und trotzdem sehr ruhig und angenehm. Wie würden gerne wiederkommen :-)...

                                                    La maison de Laurence est très belle sur photos et encore bien plus lorsqu'on la découvre. Laurence est charmante, elle ne fait aucune concession en ce qui concerne la propreté, le confort ou l'accueil. Un bouquet de fleurs de bienvenue, une bouteille au frais, des CD, DVD, bouquins, photophores, des plaids pour les soirées fraîches, elle ne laisse rien au hasard ! Les cuisiniers en manquent d'inspiration iront à la hall aux poissons, juste à côté et trouveront les meilleurs produits de la mer à préparer dans une cuisine super équipée. La vue est extraordinaire avec en prime le cri des mouettes et le bruit des vagues, un verre de Sancerre, quelques huîtres...quel bonheur ! Merci Laurence pour cette semaine de rêve et à bientôt ! Sylvie et Mario

                                                    Nous avons été charmés par Port en Bessin et la région des plages du débarquement, plus particulièrement par la maison qui est vraiment très agréable à vivre : une vue sur mer exceptionnelle, une décoration magnifique, tous les équipements nécessaires de grande qualité, et même des très bonnes surprises comme la petite pièce en plus au rez de chaussée. Nous serions bien restés une semaine de plus, nous reviendrons avec plaisir !
