Thanks to the history of this location, which was the cradle of impressionism in 1850, where every painter who is famous today came to find inspiration in the water, the skies and the gardens, this experience is as meaningful as any.

Today, as then, the rooms in which those artists stayed are full of endless charm and quaintness and offer the same views of the river estuary and our historic cottage-style edifice as depicted in “La Route sous la neige”, the famous painting by Claude Monet.

The Ferme Saint Siméon is a typical 17th century Norman edifice, with a mix of blue-toned slate tiles and traditional half-timbered walls like those of an authentic farmhouse.

In this Norman setting, amidst the great cuisine peppered with local flavours, all made with love by our Chef, we offer organic treatments with Normandy apples which are delicacies of the spa, as well as tasting the best Crus de Calvados in our dining rooms and in our "fumoir".

There are many must-see locations in Normandy, such as the landing beaches and a range of historical sites from the Second World War, which await you on your day of discovery.

Finaly, take the time to enjoy a ride through the true heart of the "Pays d'Auge", its traditions, cider production and green landscape.
