The accommodation is: very clean, superbly equipped, with a garden and patio, a peaceful oasis. The stairs to the upper floor are very steep. The landlady speaks very good German. There are many things to do from there, including exploring Normandy. A day trip to Paris is also possible (there is a direct train connection from Caen to Paris). In Basley, there is a small bakery with delicious baked goods at very reasonable prices. Unfortunately, the nearby beach was extremely seaweedy, so we didn't go into the sea.
