The whole family or group of friends under one roof, with a place of your own for everyone.
La Minoterie is a restored 1870 watermill in the heart of a green valley in Normandy, [20] minutes from Mont-Saint-Michel. Ideal for groups of 14 to 20 people, with 5 bathrooms, two living floors each with their own kitchen and a whole floor of games such as air hockey, table tennis and table football. Grandparents sleep on the ground floor, children run around outside on one hectare by the river.
Christmas and New Year: precious moments together
Celebrate the holidays together at La Minoterie, with family or friends. The Christmas tree is already sparkling when you arrive. Together you prepare Christmas dinner in the two new kitchens, then linger at the table and chat by the fire. And on New Year's Eve you count down to the new year together.
Together, with room for everyone
Two living floors, each with its own kitchen, sitting area with open fireplace and long tree-trunk table. The whole group can eat together, or each family can enjoy a quiet moment of its own. The spacious layout makes it easy to retreat to a sitting area or your own bedroom. On the large terrace at the entrance, with a Weber barbecue, you all eat outside and linger at the table.
Play, indoors and out
The lower floor is a bright games floor with windows: air hockey, table tennis, table football, darts and Dutch shuffleboard (sjoelen). Perfect for rainy days and long winter evenings, where children and adults challenge each other. Outside, on one hectare, there is room to run around, play in the river, bounce on the trampoline, and play football, volleyball or pétanque. And gathering wood for a campfire is all part of the fun.
