A home away from home

In the charming market town of Sourdeval, The Courtyard Garden has been thoughtfully arranged so that every guest — whatever their needs — can relax, explore, and enjoy Normandy at their own pace. There’s no need to bring equipment; everything is here waiting for you. Bars, cafés, shops, restaurants and a well-stocked pharmacy are all within easy walking distance, and a traditional Tuesday market brings local produce right to your doorstep.

Getting here is refreshingly simple — just one hour forty-five minutes from the port of Caen, or a gentle four-to-five hour drive from Calais through the toll roads. No flights, no worry about wheelchairs or adaptations in transit.
