About Jour J
We have rented La Grange and La Valle many times in the past and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the area. We often thought one day we might like to buy the properties and when the opportunity to do so came along we did just that. We enjoy being in Fresville and we hope you can enjoy our holiday home as much as we do
Jour J purchased this Cottage in 2018
Why Jour J chose Fresville
We are in the WW2 June 6th 1944 Invasion Beaches close to Utah Beach, 4 miles from Ste Mere Eglise, 4 miles from Carentan, Set in the heart of a conservation area of significant importance we are in the beautiful and stunning Parc Naturel Cotentin et du Bessin Ste Marie du Mont was the first village in France to be liberated on June 6th 1944. Ste mere Eglise still has the parachutist effigy hanging from the church tower. Band of Brothers story featured in episodes 2 & in the very heart of where we are located. Along the coast other invasion beaches such as Point du Hoc Arromanches, with its visible remains of the Mulberry Harbour, are all easy access and well worth a visit. There is so much to do here, not just the invasion beaches.... Bayeux Tapestry, Mont St Michel, Caen, UNESCO St Vaast la Hougue & the Isle Tatihou, Barfleur where William the Conqueror (set sail from), Briquebec, St Saveur Vicompte & Valognes where castles exist from the 100 years war. We have Roman remains, the 1st stone built castle against the Vikings, Hitlers defences in the Atlantic wall
