We traveled to Normandy to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. The plan was to take a road trip, and we had booked two days at the power salad farm.
Once we arrived, the atmosphere was so relaxed and tranquil, and Zoë's garden was so beautiful that we spontaneously decided to extend our stay. We truly enjoyed a peaceful time there, from delightful campfires in the evening to a tasty breakfast by the tent - they took good care of us!
We had a wonderful time.
Would 100% recommend!
Thanks Zoë! ❤️❤️

The atmosphere is relaxed and the hosts are very friendly. They are there for you when you need them, but also let you freely enjoy their beautiful place with a view of the Mont Saint Michel and of course everything that grows and blooms around you. You have a lot of space in your own place. I also enjoyed the animals that occasionally cross your path. They live in a paradise and are used to people around them. It doesn't bother you, but it does make you feel good.
How was the contact with the host?
Very good. The hosts also speak English and can provide you with good information about the area and how/when you can best visit Mont Saint Michel, for example.

This is truly a dream place! It is a fantastic large garden, which the owner makes "PowerSalads": everything in the garden is edible. The garden provides edible products all year round: from vegetables to flowers and herbs. Of course you also get to taste such a delicious salad! The garden has a beautiful view (on Le Mont Saint Michel) and is a lovely place to stay for a night or more. It is also a wonderful place for children to play: enough space for games, a swing and there are various animals: a pig, dog, chickens and ducks. All in all, a very strong recommendation!

The campspace was nice. Zoe answered quickly and confirmed the stay. The location is cool, they have a permaculture farm and have an awesome view on Mont St. Michel - the drive there takes around 30 minutes. However, we were traveling with a camping van and an additional tent, and her property is not suited to drive on by car and I guess she would also prefer guests to not do it. So I wouldn't recommend going there if you travel with a camping van. If you travel by bike or with a normal car then it is no problem as you can find a really nice place to put up your tent and leave your car on the parking place. But still, it was a nice stay and definitely an interesting farm to visit.

All feedback is valuable so thank you Yvonne and Im pleased to know you will not be coming back. Did you know we suffered a drought again this year so when it rained it was good to see the green and respectful not to cut it all down straight away, is this the messiness you are referring to Yvonne? Or is it the 50year old glasshouse in a state of renovation that bothered you so much?
BTW We dont have a kitchen, we have a 'vestiaire' or changing room (its written on the door) and the lack of electrical points is purposeful to encourage other activites and is free to those who wish to charge their phones but not their enormous power banks. This may be the intentional simplicity you were referring to? There are reasons I take only small camper vans and not camping buses like yours on this small edibly landscaped microfarm (compaction of soil, unsightliness for other campers, expectations as big as their vehicles...) and it was totally my mistake making an exception saying yes to you. Thank you again for giving me clarity and enjoy yourself as best you can Yvonne. Just to note most people cannot read minds so if you require, need, want more information I recommend simply asking a question.
