Our history and values

Authenticity, Simply

In the heart of Lower Normandy, Le Relais de La Liberté opened its doors in 2018 in Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, Manche.

It all started with a passion for this old 16th-century Normandy farmhouse, still perfectly preserved in its original context as a working farm.

For six years, every weekend, we renovated the farm with the help of family and friends.

The former cattle barn has been transformed into our main residence, featuring three beautiful bed & breakfast rooms, including one accessible to guests with reduced mobility, and a family & group cottage. chambres d’hôtes dont une  accessible aux personnes à mobilité réduite et un gîte familial. 

The farm’s entrance porch is a classic example of Cotentin Normandy architecture. demeures normandes du Cotentin.

Today, we are delighted to receive positive feedback from our guests, many of whom return year after year. It is a pleasure for us to share moments with them in this peaceful Normandy home, steeped in history.

Our Values

Vous proposer un hébergement où règne douceur de vivre et convivialité. We aim to offer accommodation where relaxation, conviviality, and a sense of well-being prevail. We take the time to create connections and share stories about the Cotentin and Bessin Marshes Regional Natural Park, from bird migrations to the life of local seals.

We promote local and sustainable living: a permaculture vegetable garden is being developed, and gradually, we hope to make the estate self-sufficient. Progressivement nous souhaitons rendre le domaine autonome.

The Origins of Le Relais de la Liberté – Utah Beach

 Our property is part of a complex of 16th-century buildings, organised as follows:

The Main House (Manoir d’Haudienville), visible from the bed & breakfast rooms, was built in the 16th century. It consists of a rectangular main building flanked by a pavilion.
The manor, now privately owned, was enlarged and raised in the 18th century and restored in 1882. Remaining features include a 16th-century gate, a 17th-century dormer, and a chapel founded in 1660 by Charles Le Sage, Lord of Haudienville, later converted into a sheep barn.

 The estate is now divided into two private properties: The Manor House The Farmhouse, where we live and welcome our guests
