Locus Amoenus
Saint Michel du Bosc, a charming estate and former priory (1153 AD), welcomes you warmly. This special place, which we call Locus Amoenus (the good place), lies in the heart of a regional nature park in Normandy and offers peace and quiet within the centuries-old monastery walls. It is actually more of a hamlet, a tiny village with a number of detached buildings, situated on over 6 hectares, featuring an orchard, a vegetable garden, and its own pond. Located on a medieval road named after it, far from the main roads in the municipalities of Lithaire and Varenguebec. The prominent location offers views of the Marais de Cotentin and Mont Eclantin. Surrounded by greenery and the sound of frogs, crickets, and singing birds, you cannot help but unwind here.
Retreat and Recharge
The location is ideal for various activities, the surroundings exude tranquility, while you are still close to the interesting sights of the Cotentin to discover authentic Normandy. From Mont Saint-Michel to Cape Cotentin, via the Côte des Isles (Jersey), Granville, Bayeux and the Normandy landing sites, to The Hague in the north – a region full of culture, cliffs, headlands, beaches, and recreational opportunities. Here you can relax, retreat and find inspiration to recharge.
Mathilde
The renovation of one of the outbuildings, constructed against the old thick monastery wall, into a modern guesthouse is nearly complete. We call this first gîte "Mathilde", after the founder of the priory, Mathilde de Vernon (1135-1209). The photo gallery gives a preview of the accommodation that can house up to 6 people.
