Très charmant gîte, très bien placé
Other than having trouble communicating with the host, once checked in, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Gîte. We will definitely return.

Our Gite St Julien Stay
We were delighted with our stay at Gite St Julien. We had visited Domfront once before and stayed in a house in the Quartier Nôtre Dame which has since been sold. We chose Gite St Julien because of its location and the photos of the interior which showed that it had been renovated but still retained the original feel of the gite which was previously a café. We also enjoyed the proximity to the castle ruins as we like to sit on a bench there and watch the sun set. The gite’s location is perfect for accessing all the other interesting places in Domfront. We were a tad anxious about the noise level being in the center-Ville, but it really wasn’t an issue - there were some late night parties on a few nights, but they had settled down before midnight. Our only issue was figuring out how to use the appliances without any information sheets and also to know where and when to dispose of our trash. A few calls to friends in France, and we were able to use them all, and we found where to take the trash. The curtains throughout were especially aesthetically pleasing, and the beds their accoutrements were very lovely and comfortable. The very modern bathrooms were a treat also!

A Wonderful Stay in Domfront!
From the moment Glenn and Samantha welcomed us to Gite St. Julien, we loved every minute of our stay! Perfectly located in the historical district of Domfront with easy access to Le Mont-Saint-Michel and the Normandy coast, the house is a beautifully renovated property, located just steps from shops and restaurants with quiet, peaceful nights. We can't wait to return!

What a treasure!
What a beautiful gite! Everything was new, clean, tastefully decorated, and of the highest quality. Glenn and Sam met us with a warm welcome and basket of goodies so that we would have everything we needed for our first night. We chose to stay in Domfront because of its central location for visiting other places in Normandy, such as Bayeux , the D-day beaches, and Mont Saint Michel. What we didn’t expect was to fall in love with Domfront, itself. It was probably the highlight of our trip (which included visits to London and Paris). We are already planning a return trip at some point in the future. Beautiful town, beautiful property, beautiful hosts. Thank you!

Schön renoviertes Haus in Mittelelalterlicher Umgebung
Wir hatte wunderbare Tage in Domfront. Das Haus wurde mit viel Liebe zum Detail modernisiert ohne den ursprünglichen Charme zu zerstören. Das Haus ist direkt in der Altstadt so das alles in Domfront zu Fuß erreichbar ist. Ein kostenloser Parkplatz ist nur ein paar Schritte entfernt.

Wohnen im Mittelalter mit Comford
Eine Woche in Domfront war wunderschön. Das umgebaute Café auf dem Berg im Kern von Domfront, lässt einen an den Film Chocolat denken. Das Haus ist komfortabel, sauber, alles da was man braucht. Es ist ruhig gelegen, alles Fussläufig zu erreichen . Die Gastgeber waren super nett und hilfsbereit. Überhaupt waren alle Einwohner sehr sehr freundlich. Wir können diese Unterkunft für einen Urlaub in der Normandie aber auch für länger 100% empfehlen.
