Thank you for your comment about your stay. This house is certainly in the middle of our beautiful fishing port and allows you to discover, nearby, the beautiful city of Bayeux and all the history of the region and DDAY. We only ask to share all this life and its very close history. We will be happy to welcome you again. Best regards, JEAN FRANCOIS
We had a wonderful stay the house was lovely, spacious, and well equipped. The town itself was great, lovely shops, amazing crepes and a fantastic market on Sundays. The host went out of his way to make us feel welcome and was extremely informative.
Overall a wonderful experience would highly recommend, we’re sad to be leaving such a lovely house and town.

I will summarize: a beautiful meeting...We are happy that you took away such beautiful memories with you...despite the weather, but we couldn't offer you more sunshine.! We met around this period of the LANDING, from which we all kept a beautiful emotion... Know that you will always be welcome. !
Best regards.
JEAN FRANCOIS.
Excellent location, beautifully decorated, very well equipped. Lots of leaflets and books on the area and the Normandy Landings in particular. The owner, Mr Langlois, was so knowledgable about the town's past that his family had lived through. Plenty of places to eat, and it was very interesting to see the busy fishing harbour.

Thank you ELIZABETH. Know that it was a great pleasure to meet you and your family, and to be able to introduce you to this beautiful country, its life and its history. You will always be welcome (and confirm to your husband that there will always be a train available for him, in order to finish visiting CAEN..! He will have understood me...). Sincerely.
Our stay at the residence of Jean Francois Langlois was extraordinary given its location and the personal involvement of Mr. Langlois. The home was extremely clean, comfortable and welcoming! Thank you Monsieur Langlois.

3rd time of coming and totally love it.
Clean, spacious with all the facilities one needs. Wi-Fi to keep the kids happy, centrally located, bars and restaurants on your doorstep.
Been coming here for the last 3 years and everything I ask the family where they'd like to go next year... always the same response.
Spacious house in Port-en-Bessin near invasion beaches
Great stay in spacious town house, 20 paces from dockside, with private, secure car parking. Landlord Jean Francois extremely helpful. He speaks knowledgeably and passionately about the D-day landings,Port en Bessin, and the involvement of his family and neighbours. A stay here is recommended

An excellent property - even better than photos!
This is the very best Gite that we have ever stayed in France. It is a really wonderful and comfortable property with all the facilities that you need. It is very well appointed and in a great location. We enjoyed our stay and fully agree with all the previous comments made. Mr and Mrs LANGLOIS are extremely friendly and very helpful - really nice people! This property is very very highly recommended!!!!
Response from VrboOwner on 26 Mar 2020
Thank you for the comment on your stay. We simply tried to allow you to relax, enjoy and discover our beautiful region and its history. Welcome back to everyday life. Maybe we will have the pleasure of another meeting ...
We have stayed in many gites in all parts of France. This apartment is one of the best and most comfortable. The flat was even better in real life than the photos on the web site. The little fishing village was a great base for exploring Normandy, close to everything. I highly recommend this property!

We are delighted that you enjoyed this stay in our house and that you enjoyed our region and its historical environment.
We hope that your return has gone well and that we will see you again soon.

Had a great hol, only negative comments are that no curtains in bedrooms due to being in roof space and difficult to sleep. Lovely host though and very helpful.

Thank you for your appreciation. Too bad you didn't tell me about it because there are integrated and sliding curtains in each Velux window. Know that I will be happy to see you again in order to finalize your trip. Best regards.
Merci pour votre appreciation. Dommage que vous ne m en ayez pas parlé car il existe des rideaux integres et coulissants dans chaque fenetre Velux. Sachez que j aurai plaisir a vous revoir afin de finaliser votre voyage. Bien cordialement.
This is a wonderful property. We stayed here before in 2019, so we knew this is a great apartment in a cool fishing village. We stayed for two weeks this year and had a great time. M. Langlois is the perfect host! We had several interesting conversations about Normandy, Port-en-Bessin, and the French and Americans. We have stayed in many properties all over France; this is one of the very best.

Karl ! What praise! Know that I also appreciated our exchanges around our respective histories and our cultures. The house will always welcome you with pleasure because it has no more secrets for you... Very friendly.
Fantastic property in the perfect location. Great hosts who are available with plenty of information about the local area and history.
Very accommodating and friendly.
House is exactly as described and we found it larger than it looked in the photos.
Despite the time of year we had some lovely sunny days and got to enjoy the “goût du large” event on the weekend of our arrival., definitely an added bonus.
Great location from which to explore the Normandy coastline and WW2 sites.

Thank you for your delicate appreciation. We are delighted that you were able to attend our local festival which allowed you to feel the depth of the life of this fishing port, happy to live its life and its history. It is important for us to live these intense moments and to share them. We will see you again with great pleasure...
Centrally located, with the bonus of secure off-street parking
This lovely old house is right in the centre of town, close to the fishing port, and it has been nicely refurbished by the owner, especially the 1st and 2nd floors (living room/kitchen/dining area on 1st floor and bedroom areas on 2nd floor). There is a washing machine and extra toilet on the ground floor. The secure off street parking is very useful and the location is (by car) very convenient for visiting key WWII D-day locations and the Bayeux tapestry. The fishing port itself has a rich history in which the owner is very knowledgeable and he is happy to take time to share his stories and answer questions. Communication with the owner was excellent, and he went out of his way to provide additional information to ensure we had a fabulous stay at Port-en-Bessin-Huppain!

Thank you for the comment you wrote and sent. Know that our meeting was very appreciated and that I would have liked to make you discover, more, our port, our region and our history. I have a premonition that you will come back... It will be with great pleasure.
I so appreciate when the owner goes to the effort to make small touches to the property to make it a home. For example, a small table and chair in the bedroom to apply makeup. Lovely white sheets and quality towels . The tv in the bedroom was a plus. The kitchen was very well appointed, as I cook. Quality cookware and very nice dishes and glassware as we did entertain . Mr. Francois could not have been more kind. He escorted us to the local farmer’s market and guided us to the best vendors, Just a kind , thoughtful man. So lovely to meet such a thoughtful owner who truly cares about his renters.

Charm and convenience right in the heart of Normandy
My parents, wife and I spent 7 days at the property and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is larger than in the pictures, offers a great kitchen and three levels of living, while being in walking distance to three grocery stores and several restaurants in Port-en-Bessin. Jean (owner) was extremely helpful and welcoming, and even went above and beyond to help us get our parking pass to re-enter the town during the D-Day ceremonies. We would recommend this property and would absolutely stay here again if in the area.
Pro’s:
——-
+ Large, modern space
+ Spacious kitchen and dining area. We cooked several meals on the stove with no problem
+ Two bedrooms and two bathrooms. All well equipped and the bedrooms have design charm being on the third floor with exposed beam ceilings
+ Laundry (washing) on-site, with room to hang clothes
+ Some workout equipment in the lower level
+ Great location. Right in the heart of Port en Bessin, walking distance to several restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacy and shops Also, driving to the landing beaches and museums was very convenient
+ Attentive, available and helpful owner
+ Good working Wi-Fi
+ Parking space right next to the home
+ Good light inside the home
Con’s
——-
- Lower floor toilet was slow to work and the lower floor bathroom is not very private. It is more of a shared space.
- We were not able to understand how to use the oven, so some directions would be helpful
- The beds are a little small. More like double bed size.
- It was not an issue for us, but the property has a lot of stairs, so if you have a mobility issue, please be aware

Liebevoll renoviertes, gemütliches ehemaliges Fischerhaus. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Komplett ausgestattet; wir haben absolut nichts vermisst. Ideale Lage in unmittelbaerer Nähe zum Hafen und zu netten kleinen Geschäften. Dennoch ruhig gelegen. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir den Gastgeber, der sehr herzlich und aufmerksam war. Wir haben von ihm viele Tipps und Insider-Infos für unseren Aufenthalt bekommen. Wir können die Wohnung uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Vielen Dank, Daniel, für Ihren Kommentar. Es freut mich, dass Ihnen und Ihrer Familie unser typisches Fischerhaus gefallen hat. Ein Aufenthalt hier ist kurz, und vielleicht lohnt es sich, die Umgebung weiter zu erkunden, was Ihnen und Ihren Kindern sicher gefallen würde. Herzliche Grüße, Jean-François
Das sehr schön und liebevoll eingerichtete Ferienhaus hat uns genauso begeistert, wie die äußerst freundliche und großzügige Betreuung durch den Vermieter. Die ungewöhnliche Lage im Zentrum von Port en Bessin, die dennoch nie laut war, der abgeschlossene Privatparkplatz und die vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Umgebung haben im Gesamtpaket zu einem sehr gelungenen Urlaub geführt. Haus und Vermieter haben 11 von 10 Punkten verdient!

Sehr schöne geräumige Ferienwohnung mit allem was man braucht. Zwei Schlafzimmer, Bäder und eine große Küche mit Wohnzimmer. Es hat an nichts gefehlt. Beste Lage im Ort und fußläufig zu vielen Restaurants. Es ist auch eine gute Lage um Tagesausflüge zu machen. Die Vermieter sind sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich.Wir können es nur weiterempfehlen.
