The location
Equemauville stretches out in a rural landscape between Honfleur and Deauville, and close to the beaches of Basse-Normandie. The town is ideally situated, offering a good quality of life and a varied environment, encompassing the Pays d’Auge, classified area of history and art, the coast with the resorts of Deauville and Trouville, an idyllic countryside of thatched and half-timbered farms, apple trees and turreted villas, and the Mont-Joli on the Cote de Grace offering stunning views of the Seine estuary and the roofs of Honfleur. Equemauville itself offers a number of amenities including a supermarket within 400m, a bakery, hairdressers, a vet, a petrol station and garage, and plenty more besides.
Activities
A wide range of activities are available in Equemauville- including sports clubs, an equestrian centre, various associations such as a choir and events committee, boules, golf, hiking (on foot, bicycle or horse) on one of the many paths and itineraries... The marine festival held on the Cote de Grace plateau leads to a popular yearly pilgrimage and a funfair. Nearby places of interest include Caen, the city of 100 steeples and over 1000 acres of green spaces and gardens which also houses a memorial and museum to the Second World War- of course the D-Day Landing beaches are nearby and worth a visit. Also, Le Havre, town of art and history, chic and elegant Deauville, Bayeux with its tapestry, and the Mont St Michel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Local food and gastronomy
A plethora of food and drink define Normandy- fish and seafood is of a superior quality and includes oysters, lobsters, turbot, mussels and scallops. A wide range of dairy food is also produced such as butter, cream and celebrated cheeses like Camembert, Pont-l’Eveque and Livarot. Some of the local specialities are Caen style tripe, andouilles de Vire (chitterlings), oysters in pommeau (apple liqueur), teurgoule rice pudding, apple tart and caramels from Isigny and Etretat. Normandy is also a major cider-producing region.
