Top Tips for a stay in Calvados
Beautiful Maison Mouche is in the charming, historic town of Beaumont-en-Auge in one of France’s most scenic regions. In this guide to making the most of your stay here, Elodie (part of the brother and sister team who run this charming guest house) shares some of her favourite things to do nearby.
Discover Beaumont-en-Auge and the latest kaleidoscope manufacturer
Maison Mouche’s famous neighbour is definitely well worth a visit to his cabinet of curiosities, and if possible, a visit to his workshop! Extend your visit with a stroll through the village of Beaumont-en-Auge, listed as one of the prettiest villages in France. The houses are picturesque and the smiles are sincere! And a visit to the wine shop of the well-knowned oenologist Pierre Boinet is well worth the diversions.

Lunch at a fishmonger
