Come to little Orbec , situated just 50 km away from the well known coastal resorts of Deauville and Trouville, and discover welcoming atmosphere and simple culture found in this medieval farming village.
Renting a privately-owned gite or cottage in Orbec is the most authentic way to experience this small village. The economy of Orbec, with a population of less than three thousand, is based mostly on farming and tourism -you’ll find an atmosphere from the past, and plenty of friendly people willing to show you where to go and what there is to see (as long as you speak a bit of French - not many will speak English here).
If you’re visiting Orbec then you’re probably interested in sampling some of Orbec’s traditional food and cider - straight from the farm. On Wednesdays the market is the place to be; you can meet the farmers and try the incredible fresh produce.
Orbec is also a great place for fishing, forest-tracking and clay pigeon shooting, or just a scenic walk.
Outside Orbec, there are plenty of places to visit nearby. Lixeus, 18 km away, enjoys a rich variety of restaurants, theatres, café’s, shops and historical treasures; and its main square stages many different fetes and markets throughout the year. Its shrine of Saint Theresa still attracts pilgrims from around the world.
Of course visiting the famous resorts of Deauville or Honfleur from Orbec - or vice versa - is an option, at about 50km away, if you want to mix things up. For an extended stay, a holiday home or villa in Deauville is a great way to experience this hotspot of culture and activity.
