Location

Saint-Siméon is about ten miles south-west of Domfront, on the southern Normandy/Mayenne border, about 1½ hours drive south of Caen (see map). Charming barn conversions with lovely views to surrounding wooded hills and orchards, La Bucherie is situated at the end of a lane, half a mile from the village. So, it's an easy walk to the boulangerie and the café. The market town of Gorron is only six miles away, with a good supermarket, shops and swimming pool. La Bucherie is ideal for peaceful family holidays and exploring this interesting and varied part of France, which is renowned for its history, wonderful food and, of course, the cider and calvados.
