Located between Caen and Alen�on, not far from the banks of the river Orne and the Normandy beaches. This is a paradise for horse-riding and walking. This is also the stamping ground of Arnaud Viel, head chef, finalist in the 1996 French Dessert Competition and Laur�at d'Or in 1997. Bold creativity combined with a respect for tradition at "l'Hostellerie de la Renaissance", a select hotel. His wife, C�cilia, is in charge of the well-chosen wine list. The accommodation is comprised of 14 well-appointed rooms. Enjoy the exquisite atmosphere of the lounge bar.
