Best BnB in Normandy

A l'Approche de la Mer

I may be a little biased on this recommendation, but I believe that my sister's BnB is the best!  A l'Approche de la Mer is her charming BnB, ideally located in the heart of Normandy's picturesque resort town of Houlgate, just two blocks off the beach. It boasts comfortable suite accommodations for a family of up to four and includes parking for one car. By the way, not only is my sister a gracious host, and talented artist (check out some of her paintings below), she speaks English, French and German and can recommend excellent restaurants and other area villages and attractions while visiting "la cote fleurie" (flowery coast).

Paris Years

Gargoyle on Sacre Coeur Basillica

Gargoyle on Sacre Coeur Basillica


I spent several years in Paris studying and then starting my career in sales working at the Marriott Prince de Galles on Avenue George V 


Two of my favorite Paris restaurants where I like to indulge in Oysters, Steak Tartare, Foie Gras and Tarte aux Pommes are: Boeuf sur le Toit and Terminus Nord, Both are excellent traditional brasseries and Boeuf sur le Toit includes jazz piano performances during dinner service. For the best hot chocolate in town, make time for the classic tearoom and restaurant Angelina on rue de Rivoli 


Chez Castel is second to none as a classic Paris night club of the 1960's. This mythical club has seen the cream of the crop of the Parisian cultural scene and celebrities the world over


I'll help make your next trip to Paris an exceptional one. Let's Connect!
