Overall, Lower Normandy is a great place for dogs: practically all of the peninsula's extensive sandy beaches are dog-friendly, and even in summer your dog can walk for miles without a leash. 

Many restaurants allow well-behaved dogs or have outdoor dining tables where your pet can be with you while you eat.

Your stay with appropriate comfort: Dog owners often have to make do with inferior accommodation just because they have their dog with them. All four properties are in excellent condition and are professionally and carefully cleaned at the end of each stay: so don't settle for second best.

We are constantly working to make La Bourdonnerie a memorable experience for dog owners. In 2012 we purchased a further 35.000 square meters of land adjacent to the property, on which we built a dog trail for your and your dog's enjoyment (see map below). Directly at the farm, a dirt path leads into open nature, ideal for daily “walking”... or even for a leisurely walk.

Each holiday home has its own garden, allowing you to enjoy the fresh air without having to keep your dog on a leash at all times.

At La Bourdonnerie, your dogs are not just “tolerated”, but actively welcomed as part of the family during your stay at La Bourdonnerie.
