Staying near Camembertand exploring Normandy
The Hameau is in Les Champeaux, in the Orne part of the Pays d’Auge. Camembert and Vimoutiers are about ten minutes away by car; Livarot is around twenty minutes. Cheese dairies, markets, walking trails and half-timbered villages make it easy to plan your days without long drives.
The Haras national du Pin (France’s national stud), Falaise, Lisieux and the Côte Fleurie make for further outings. Staying several nights lets you alternate visits with the pleasure of cooking what you bring back from the market, or simply spending a day at the house.

Reading the map,
planning your days
On a computer, hover over a point or a card: the destination stays selected, the road traces itself, then the place comes to life. Drag to move around, and zoom with the scroll wheel while holding Ctrl (⌘ on a Mac). The All of Normandy button takes you back to the full view.
On a phone or tablet, the tabs sort the places by driving time, and the cards slide under your finger: the one in the middle shows its place on the map. The markets tab gives each village’s days and square.
