La Ferme de la Moricière Glamping

The Canvas Lodge tent at La Ferme de la Moricière is one of the tents found on a farm owned by the Moricière family in Lower Normandy. The family have owned the farm for more than 200 years. From around the time of the French Revolution, they came to La Moricière in search of safety.

Today, the family runs an organic dairy farm with a herd of Normandy cows and their calves as well as pigs, chicken and goats. From the 1st to the 4th of July, an added point of interest will be the Tour de France. Le Tour will start just a few kilometres from La Ferme de la Moricière.

On the farm tour, the Moricières will share their farming knowledge with guests, especially in the art of cheese making, including informed recommendations on the best local cheeses to buy. The family's own famous local cheese is the "Pont L'Evêque." They are also passionate about environmental issues in the area and as tour guides, they take small groups on foot across the extraordinary bay.

The Canvas Lodge has a double bed, a bunk bed, and a single bed, sleeping a maximum of 6 guests. There is a flushing toilet, deck chairs, an outdoor cooker, an extended canopy for a covered veranda, and cold running water. The lodge comes with a starter pack made up of wood for heating and cooking, starter pack candles, and lamp oil. Kitchen linen is provided and there is ample parking space.

The honesty shop, "Le Cellier," and the three individual hot showers are found in a building that has been restored using organic and eco-friendly techniques. There is always something happening on the farm to join in on, including wood fence mending, firewood chopping, and organic vegetable gardening.
