A warm family welcome

Passionate hosts!

Céline & Cyril – Le Pré-Marin, a human adventure in Normandy!

We’re one of those post-covid reconverts who took advantage of this enforced break to put into practice something that was close to our hearts: changing our lives. So we left our jobs, our homes, our friends, our families and our children (who stayed in Paris to study) to move to Normandy and start our own leisure tourism business. Le Pré-Marin was the ideal Village de Gîtes for us: a place with immense potential, close to Paris, ideal for welcoming families and groups in search of nature and conviviality. Over the last three years, we’ve rethought and renovated everything to create a warm, modern space that reflects our image.

The history of our gîte village: Built in 2003 by a passionate couple, this self-catering village was then taken over in 2019 by an engineering duo. Affected by the Covid crisis, the place was put up for sale, and that ‘s how we took up the torch. With a fresh vision, we have transformed this space into an ideal venue for groups and seminars, while retaining the authentic spirit of the site.

Our passions

We love simple pleasures: nature, walks, animals, sharing time with friends. We wanted to combine this simplicity with a more contemporary approach, bringing a touch of modernity and technology to a rural setting. Our customers, who are often urbanites in search of nature, appreciate this harmony between comfort and gentle disconnection. Here, everything has been designed so that guests can enjoy their stay at their own pace: waking up to the sound of birdsong, walking to get their bread and continuing along the cliffs, strolling along the immense beach, discovering the surrounding Most Beautiful Villages in France…

Our Villages de Gîtes membership

The previous owners were already members of Villages de Gîtes and when we arrived we questioned our membership, but we soon realised that we shared their values. The balance between independence and conviviality, the ‘everyone in their own home but all together’ aspect convinced us, and we’re proud to be part of it today.

Our favourite Villages de Gîtes

We have a particular affinity for the Villages de Gîtes located by the sea in the north-west of France, in Normandy or Brittany, with whom we are often in contact and share common travellers, in search of fresh sea air! But those in the countryside or mountains also attract us… for our own holidays!

Holiday anecdotes

On the eve of our first Christmas at Le Pré Marin, we took in a little duckling lost in the garden. It spent the whole winter with us, sharing our daily routine: morning bath in the sink, TV session on the sofa, feast in the cat’s bowl… He worked with me at the office, curled up in my sling, and we cycled to the market or the bakery… in short, he was my baby! Unfortunately, our sweet Léon, who had become a beautiful duck ;-), was attacked one night by a fox, when he hadn’t answered his bedtime call. I cried my eyes out!

Conviviality and authenticity

values shared by our guests!
