Who We Are

Michael and Carole were born on the island of Jamaica and currently live in Miami, Florida.

We both love travelling, but in a leisurely manner. Throughout the past several years, we have organized and accompanied many groups through experiences in Italy, France and other destinations in Europe.

We fell in love with the Pays D’Auge region of Normandy, and have returned several times since our first visit. Our good fortune led us to meet a warm and wonderful family at whose "gites" we always stayed. It was a natural progression to create this experience with the help of David, Suzie, Jim and Alex, who are always hospitable to us.

Hi, I'm Alex, and I was was born in Paris, France. I decided to move to Normandy where I met my English partner Jim, and we now have a little girl called Molly.

We are aware how lucky we are to live in Normandy, as we really enjoy all its aspects; the seaside, the lovely local markets, the walks that are just fantastic in our area. And as we like our food and drink... it's just perfect too!

We both work in Normandy for the English speaking community: Jim as a gardener and builder, and as for me, I share my time with my passion of horses in the morning and my company of Property Searching and Services Oui Do It All the rest of the time.

This is also how we met Carole and Michael and we are so glad we did...We are all looking forward to meeting you and showing you our lovely Normandy.

"Childhood sweethearts David and Sue were married 45 years ago, and have three children, and five grandchildren. In the UK, Sue is a qualified hairdresser, and  David having been trained in industrial paints, ran his own company for 20 years.  Having holidayed every year in France, they always wanted to retire to France, and by chance found their dream home, a Farmhouse with three outbuildings 20 years ago.

Over the years David and son James have
converted the properties to provide comfortable accommodation for up to
42 people, and put in a 32’ x 16’ heated pool. There is an on-site restaurant catering for up to 30 people, and the couple take great pride in the Anglo-French cooking they provide.

Sue’s grandfather fought in the 1st World War, and won the military medal for bravery in the field. David’s Dad, a Red Devil radio operator, parachuted into Normandy  as part of the assault on the two vital Troarn and Benouville bridges just after midnight on D-Day. He
saw further service in 3 more theatres of war, The Ardennes (Battle of the Bulge), The Rhine Crossing, and Palestine."
