Our Gîtes

Experience La Nouvelle Histoire living in spaces crafted for relaxation, adventure, and memorable stay

WELCOME

Enjoy the charm of Normandy, a region steeped in history and surrounded by natural beauty. We are located in Graignes, a picturesque village next to Carentan. Here, we have diligently created a place where you can relax and enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside.

La Nouvelle Histoire is a small, family-run retreat created by Peter and Juliëtte — a place where nature, comfort and tranquillity come together. Surrounded by green fields, open skies and the gentle rhythm of Normandy’s countryside, our estate is designed for guests who value peace, authenticity and a touch of luxury.

Stay in Our Charming Gîtes

Our estate currently offers two unique gîtes, each reflecting the rustic charm and warmth of the region. Both gîtes are lovingly styled with natural materials, soft tones and thoughtful details. Every element has been carefully chosen to make your stay cosy, comfortable and genuinely connected to the Normandy lifestyle.

Coming Spring 2026: Our Small Campsite

We are excited to share that we are currently working on opening a small, intimate campsite in spring 2026. With just six spacious pitches, each generously sized for ultimate privacy and comfort, it will offer the perfect blend of outdoor freedom and our signature tranquil atmosphere. Stay tuned for updates on this new chapter!

Relaxation at Its Finest

At La Nouvelle Histoire, relaxation is at the core of everything we do. Unwind in our private wood-fired sauna or soak under the open sky in our warm hot tub. These peaceful wellness spots allow you to slow down, breathe and embrace the soothing calm of nature.

A Place to Feel Free

Our retreat is more than just accommodation — it is an experience. A place where families reconnect, friends create new stories and travellers find space to simply be themselves. Wander through the fields, listen to the birdsong, or end your day beneath a sky full of stars.

Your New Story Begins Here

Peter and Juliëtte welcome you not just as guests, but as part of a new chapter at La Nouvelle Histoire. This is your little corner of paradise — a tranquil, intimate retreat where life feels simpler, richer and beautifully real.
