A rambling 17th century farmhouse in the heart of the Normandy countryside, La Cour Aux Bourgeois combines the flexibility and living space of self-catering accommodation with optional services such as table d'hote and childcare to relieve the stresses of holidaying with little ones - simply choose how independent or indulgent you'd like your holiday to be.
The
three hundred year-old accommodation has been stylishly renovated to
create a suite of rooms that are toddler and baby-friendly without sacrificing
the needs of discerning parents. All the necessary baby equipment is
provided which combined with a free laundry service and tonnes of play
equipment eliminates the need to pack your entire house before departure.
Our unique Tried and Tested directory will point you in the direction of child friendly attractions and activities or you may just want to stay closer to home lazing in the hammock whilst the kids exhaust themselves in the playbarn. Whatever your needs our aim is to offer a relaxed and informal environment where all family members can equally enjoy their precious holiday time.

Home from home:
The apartment is equipped with basic domestic products and all the necessary baby paraphernalia so you don't have to spend hours shopping, packing and setting up home on arrival. All bed linen and towels are provided and all utility costs are included in the rental, so with oil-fired central heating you can holiday comfortably and affordably at any time of the year.
You can choose to cook for yourself in the well-equipped kitchen or order-in from your hosts. Simply order twenty-four hours in advance and a home-cooked meal will be delivered to your suite-or dine under the apple trees if you prefer. Produce is either home grown or sourced locally wherever possible and as a former chef of fifteen years you can be sure that Laurent will rustle up something delicious whatever the season.
Although table d'hote is traditionally a set menu, a choice of food is available and and special dietary requirements can be catered for. The meal service is available up to a maximum of four nights per week and free babylistening means that you can take advantage of the excellent restaurants in and around Falaise at other times.
Child-minding & Babylistening:
If you and your partner would like to enjoy a few hours alone together we will be glad to offer a child-minding service during the day or baby-listening during the evening. Child-minding is available two half days per week and needs to be booked 48 hours in advance (there is a charge of 9 euros per hour). Babylistening can be arranged for any evening and is free of charge.
Free Laundry service:
If the thought of packing your child's entire wardrobe or having a mountain of washing to do on your return fills you with dread why not take advantage of our laundry service and return home with a suitcase full of clean clothes? Your clothes will be washed, dried and folded free of charge.
Pre-arrival shopping service:
Before arrival simply email your requirements and you can arrive to a well-stocked fridge and plentiful nappy supply. You just need to pack a few clothes and we'll take care of all the rest.
