L'histoire

Maison Boyer or Maison de Poupée (Doll's House) as Rex would call it. Our French Cottage was bought by Rex and June because of a longstanding friendship with Gerard Caboret and his family. Gerard with his amazing carpentry skills has transformed a derelict shell, once lived in by members of his family, into our special French home from home in the wonderful Normandy countryside.

Originally a working farm, there was a cottage industry lacemaking at one end and a milking parlour at the other.

The cottage has developed into a haven for our family and friends.
