Jenni and Stuart purchased Manoir du Pont des Vaux in 2018 and have lovingly restored it over the years, carefully renovating each room to create a welcoming and comfortable home. Every floor has been sanded, every wall painted - bringing new life to this beautiful 16th-century property while preserving its historic charm. Originally from Aberdeen (Scotland) and London (England), Jenni and Stuart now divide their time between France and their primary home in Scotland. Alongside their two dogs, Coco and Louis, they enjoy spending time in Normandy and sharing their special home with guests when they are away. Guests have sole use of the entire property, with no other guests or owners on site during your stay. The house is self check-in with secure code entry, offering you full privacy and flexibility. While Jenni and Stuart are not on site, a friendly local couple looks after the manoir and can assist if needed. You’re welcome to contact Jenni and Stuart at any time during your stay - they’re happy to help and ensure everything runs smoothly. This is your chance to relax and enjoy uninterrupted time in a peaceful, private setting—just as if it were your own home in the French countryside.

Nestled in a peaceful semi-rural setting, Manoir du Pont des Vaux is just a 19-minute stroll from the heart of Vire. You’ll enjoy the soothing sound of the La Virène river at the edge of the property, and our friendly French neighbours rear a few roosters, chickens, and ducks—adding to the idyllic countryside ambiance. After dusk, keep an ear out for our charming owl, affectionately called “Emmanu‑owl Macron”! Private parking is available on-site, and local shops, supermarkets, cafés, and attractions are easily accessible by foot, bike, or a short drive. The Vire train station is 31 minutes on foot or just a 5-minute drive away, offering connections to Paris, Granville, and Argentan. Exoloring Vire Vire is a captivating blend of medieval and post-war charm. Once fortified in the 11th century, it was largely rebuilt after suffering heavy bomb damage on D‑Day, yet still retains its historic soul . Highlights include: The Porte Horloge, a 15th-century clock tower that once guarded the old town walls and survived WWII. The impressive Donjon de Vire, an 11th-century keep perched above the Vire river - remnants of the town’s medieval castle. A restored town centre, where Reconstruction-era architecture sits alongside medieval structures like the Church of Notre-Dame. Adding to the vibrant community life are cultural events such as street arts festivals, a lively theatre scene at Le Préau, and the modern Musée de Vire, showcasing regional heritage and local traditions. With its picturesque landscape, rich history, and convenient amenities, our neighbourhood offers a delightful and authentic taste of Normandy. Let me know if you'd like suggestions for local cafés, r
