Map

La Chatouillette is situated in a picturesque area of natural beauty, surrounded by open countryside, hills, and ancient forests in the Department of the Manche. The location is just a 1 hour and 20-minute drive from Caen ferry port and 4 hours and 30 minutes from Calais.

Your stay at La Chatouillette includes a charming coach house that can accommodate up to 4 guests, along with an exclusive 3-acre lake stocked with mirror and common carp, some weighing over 30lbs, with an average size of 26lbs.

The lake is nestled within the expansive gardens of La Chatouillette, just a few meters away from the coach house. It offers an ideal setting for up to 4 anglers, surrounded by mature gardens, woodlands, and meadows.

The lake’s depth ranges from 2ft to 6ft at its deepest point, with a lakebed predominantly composed of sand and silt. Towards the shallower end, there is a smaller island, while a larger island, with depths between 3-5ft, sits off-centre.

There are six grass swims around the lake, providing ample space for setting up your fishing equipment and bivvi.

Local Attractions

La Chatouillette is situated amidst the rural woodlands of The Regional Natural Park. The holiday Gite and lake border the three departments of Normandy: The Manche, Orne, and Calvados. The central location provides exceptional opportunities for cyclists and walkers to discover the Greenway routes. This is an ideal spot for cyclists seeking a stable hub with top-rated self-catering lodging. There is safe storage for your bicycles and a workshop space.

Market days in ‘Next Door Normandy’ are great fun and are enjoyed by tourists and locals alike. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience the rich and exciting French culture. Be prepared to rise early, as markets open around 7.30 in the morning and close about 12 noon just in time for lunch.
