    La Basse Cour, Ancinnes

    Posted by Cassis 10 November 2006

    This is a terrific little bed and breakfast run by a really friendly and helpful couple. Dead quiet location in a village 10 mins from Alençon and the A28 motorway. The gardens are beautifully kept (and large, with plenty of seats and tables) with view of the forest.

    There are shops and a little restaurant-bar nearby that is a throwback to the time when good country cooking at low prices was the norm in many parts France. Bikes, horseriding, walking paths and all that sort of stuff kept us amused, as well as sightseeing.

    Alençon itself is a lovely town if you take the trouble to go into the centre instead of passing by on the route nationale.

    La Basse Cour, Ancinnes.
