Les Mesliers Accommodation

We are located in quiet countryside on one of the Coëvron hillsides with fantastic views across valley of farmland and forests where you can enjoy quiet walks or horseriding or mountain biking down country lanes and footpaths. If you yearn for the way the countryside used to be, then you should explore this region to regenerate your soul. There are also many pretty villages nearby, often named as 'Village Fleuris' because of the wonderful flower displays. You can enjoy quiet walks down local lanes and footpaths directly from our self-catering home.

Entrance Drive and Local Walks

Take a pleasant walk down our driveway, breath in the fresh air, listen to the birds, smell the wild flowers along the lane and decide which path to walk along. There is a pretty walk nearby around a woodland that takes almost an hour with wonderful views and shaded paths. If you are more adventurous, you can have a more energetic walk to the top of Mont Fer and explore the area along ancient country tracks.
