Raise a glass… to Normandy’s Cider Festival

This month the French region most famous for cider celebrates the apple drink in a food and wine festival focused on the village of Le Sap. It’s the ideal time to visit and get a taste for some fantastic properties too…

This four-bedroom character property in Orne oozes traditional charm. Ninety minutes from chic Honfleur and Deauville, it would make a fabulous full-time home or holiday property. Less than £200k.

This is a beautifully renovated Normandy longere, offering four bedrooms and a separate studio.  It’s close to a pretty village and only an hour from the port towns, making access superb, and another very appetising price tag.

In the popular village of Le Sap – home to a cider museum – this is a rare opportunity to buy an unrenovated but very handsome maison de maitre property, in traditional Normandy red brick. Comes with four bedrooms and bags of potential.
