  • Grassy pitches on a farm a 10-minute drive from Bayeux, in Calvados
  • Bayeux AVENTURE theme park 15 minutes’ drive; Omaha Beach half an hour
  • Dogs welcome; resident goats and cows; pétanque court
On a peaceful farm by the Aure river, surrounded by the lush agricultural landscape of Calvados, Aire de la Ferme Froide is a pretty sweet spot to explore this historic area of northern France. Remote it might feel, but the site is less than 10 kilometres from Bayeux (easily accessed via the nearby D67) and about a half-hour drive from the coast. And what a coast this is. The wide beaches are excellent for building sandcastles and running around in an attempt to fly kites (cue – one would hope – happy children); however, in 1944 these sandy stretches were also the theatre for the Allied invasion of Normandy, which means that there’s a lot to pique the interest of grown-ups (or of anyone who’s into World War II history). This includes museums like the Memorial Museum of Omaha Beach (25 minutes) and memorials like the British Normandy Memorial (half an hour), as well as the beaches themselves – from Omaha to Utah (half an hour’s drive and 50 minutes, respectively). Back at the site, a game of pétanque or communing with the farm animals (gentle cows and inquisitive goats, among others) ought to help raise your spirits after a day visiting sombre historical landmarks. Dogs are welcome, as long as they are well behaved and kept on a lead around the livestock. Owners Mickael and Stéphanie are on hand to suggest alternative activities (hot-air balloon flight, anyone?) and sights, from the early 13th-century Mondaye Abbey (five minutes, or a 20-minute walk) to amusement parks like Bayeux AVENTURE (15 minutes).

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked Great little campsite. Had everything we needed for our 1 night stay. We received a Friendly reception from Stephanie and the Chickens and ducks!
Peaceful setting. Perfect little stop over.

Disliked One small thing, the shower and toilet area is unisex, and there is one shower and one toilet. The shower door wouldn’t lock. Only minor issue, easily fix I’m sure.

Hilary S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked Lovely simple rural campsite! We stayed for four nights and had a fantastic time. Stéphanie is a wonderful hostess, we felt very welcome and appreciated her kindness.

It's a small site on a farm. There are eggs available for sale, as well as homemade cider. We very much enjoyed the cider! There is electricity available, and generous pitch sizes for camping-cars, caravans etc.

However we came with a tent and didn't need electric so we basically had most of the back field to ourselves. Very nice!

The toilet and shower were always clean, no matter the time of day.

Very good value for money.

We would definitely come back next time we visit France!

Liked Good road access form main routs and close to Bayeux. Very quiet as it is a rural location. Warm welcome on arrival. flat pitches and plenty of room.

Disliked The bushes separating the pitches are new and rather low but being new will soon grow, ans not a real problem.

Local attractions

The Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux, in Bayeux, displays the famed tapestry that narrates the story of William the Conqueror’s invasion of England in 1066, while the Museum of the Battle of Normandy, on the outskirts of town, recounts a different invasion: the events of D-Day. Caen (half an hour’s drive) spreads around a castle first built by William the Conqueror (or Guillaume le Conquérant, as he is known around these parts). The hilltop citadel also includes the Musée de Normandie, illustrating the history of the region, and a Museum of Fine Arts housing paintings by the Old Masters. In Colleville-sur-Mer (half an hour), the Overlord Museum is one of several local museums exploring the D-Day landings and the Battle of Normandy, with tanks and military vehicles, medals and uniforms, and re-enactments.
