The House in the Valley lies in the Touques valley, a quiet and green corner of the Orne department. Here, soft hills, forests and meadows shape a landscape that invites you to slow down, walk, and simply look around.

From the house, you can follow small country roads and paths that lead through fields, into the woods and past streams and hollow lanes. In the surrounding villages, life still follows a gentler rhythm: you’ll find fresh bread in local bakeries, cheeses from nearby farms, and village houses with shutters, stone façades and colourful flowerbeds.

A little further away, the wider region opens up towards characterful market towns, nature reserves and historic sites, a neighbourhood that feels both quietly secluded and richly varied.
