Motorbikes (and all other forms of transport) welcome at Orchard Gites!

However you like to travel you are sure of a warm welcome at Orchard Gites!
As you travel around this area of Lower Normandy you will notice how the wonderful views unfold with each bend in the road - forested areas, river valleys with rocky gorges, tranquil pastures and pretty villages. The roads are quiet but offer enough twists and turns to appeal to any motorcyclists who like to add a dash of adrenaline to their journey.

Some visitors like to feel the wind in their hair as they explore the area - I was very impressed when this shiny red Kit car swung up the drive a few seasons ago!


 Fudge, who loves al fresco driving, is quick to hop into any open topped car!


Last summer, two French  newly weds arrived in this classy vehicle


We love unusual forms of transport

You don't even need 4 wheels!


So, we are now waiting for guests to arrive by helicoper and  hanglider!
