Chateau Flottemanville is an absolutely stunning country chateau located in a quiet rural area quite near to Valognes and about a 20 minute drive south of Cherbourg. If you want to really relax and dream about what it might have been like to live in France in olden days, Chateau Flottemanville will stimulate your imagination. The proprietors are very nice and their English language skills are very good so it won't matter if all you can manage in French are the few words you learned in high school. My room was very comfortable and spacious. Open the windows at night to listen to the gentle breezes and to be awoken to the sounds of birds singing gaily in the morning. A fantastic breakfast awaits you and, depending upon the season, you will be warmed by a crackling fire in the hearth while you enjoy some of the best pastries, cheeses, yogurts, crepes, and fresh squeezed orange juice I've ever tasted topped off by a cup of strong hot coffee.
