La Cidrerie
Dieppe Golf Club 18 holes, par 70 set in 100 acres on a beautiful cliff
top. A special welcome awaits British visitors.
Visit the beach, play tennis or golf or savour the sights,
sounds and smells of a bustling fishing port.

Visit some of several historic chateaux and beautiful
gardens.

Or just sit outside and soak up the atmosphere.

When you're ready to sample the specialities of the
region, the country restaurants are superb and a real treat
for "foodies".

Claude Monet's garden at Giverny, then a stroll and lunch in
the cobbled streets of Rouen, cathedral city, capital of
Normandy, where Joan of Arc was burnt at the stake.
The Manoir in late evening.
In the grounds of a manor house this 17th-century cider barn has been converted into a modern, well
equipped, holiday home. The private tennis court is shared with the owner of the Henri IV Manor.

Paris (2 hrs), the Channel Tunnel (2 hrs) Dieppe (50 minutes), beaches (30 minutes).
There are many restaurants to suit all pockets. The specialities of the region are based upon cider, apples, cream and Calvados served in the most delicious
combinations.

Calvados is often offered in the middle of a meal with a small ball of apple sorbet known as a "trou Normand" . This is supposed to make room for you to eat more
food!

Fruit tarte made with crunchy apples, ground almond and butter, are also flambees with calvados.

Cheeses such as Camembert and the Pont l'Eveque are the more famous cheeses of Normandy, but the Neufchatel and Pave d' Auge are both mouthwatering local
specialities.

Normandy
Deauville has top class racing in July, August and October, a casino
and very chic boutiques as can be expected in what is nicknamed the
"21st Paris Arrondissement". Walk "Les Planches" along the beach as
seen in the film "Gigi", or cross the river to Trouville to find cafes or
restaurants to suit all pockets.
The Parc des Moutiers, a splendid garden occupying a whole
valley tumbling towards the sea, with a house built by the
architect Edwin Lutyens. Then 2 minutes away take a look at
the "Tree of Life", a stained glass by the painter Braque who is
buried in the small cemetery surrounding this fishermen's
church overlooking the sea. For a swim, the Pourville beach is
just further along the coast.
The Normandy Landings can be reached in 1hr 40 on easy
motorways and, if you want to brush up your knowledge of the
Norman Conquest, the celebrated Bayeaux Tapestries are just
beyond. A meal at the Lion d'Or in Bayeaux will linger in the memory.
St Pierre en Port, charmingly small but with lifeguards
keeping an eye on the swimmers.
