Founded in 2022, La Caillerie Management is our company, and our start in the French landscape. We discovered the property Le Douet Fleury, in Livarot-Pays-d'Auge, in the same year and finally started making it a place for our guests in October of 2022. Our property is named according to the flowery stream that flows along the back of our ancient laundry washhouse--Le Douet Fleury. Our team has years of experience in hospitality and guest service and we look forward to making your holiday or vacation one to remember.

Le Douet Fleury is a unique property, comprised of three joined buildings, each built in a different era. The first building is made of colombage, or half-timbered, and was erected around 1680, and currently houses our gîte, or vacation rental. While the outside of the half-timbered structure has been preserved, the interior is a mix of modern and antique, highlighted by the beautiful exposed beam ceiling in the bedroom. An ancient fireplace adds to the ambiance of the space, though not in use today. The second and third buildings are made of stone and brick, and will eventually house additional guest accommodations, including a second gîte (vacation rental), and four Bed & Breakfast rooms. This part of the house dates to the early 1800's, and features high ceilings and windows. The remaining addition to the house was completed in the late 1900's, most likely to provide living accommodations for one of the shop fronts along the north side of the building. The property has a spacious garden with garden furniture during the warmer months. At the rear of the garden is the last remaining private laundry washhouse in the village of Livarot-Pays-d'Auge. Although currently not in operation today, it provides a lovely backdrop to the garden and a picturesque moment along the side of the stream.

Livarot-Pays-d'Auge is one and the same with the cheese this village produces, at E. Graindorge Fromagerie. At the factory, just a five minute walk from our property, you can take a free self-guided tour of the factory and sample cheese in the gift shop at the end of your tour. The village is quite walkable, with many services located in the village, including restaurants, shops, grocery stores, tobacco/newspaper stores, a micro-brewery, a cidery, a local outdoor marché, and many others. By car, it is possible to visit the well-known Normandy beaches, to see a part of history. There are many museums in the Normandy region dedicated to retelling what happened during the war. A bit further out, you can visit the world famous Mont Saint-Michel.
