Falaise

Le Coisel is a perfect base for visiting the nearby area, participating in the many local activities or just relaxing. There is a new swimming pool in Falaise, cycling, golf and horse riding in the region. You can shop for antiques, take a coffee in the square, and buy fantastic cakes or chocolates from the many patissiers in the town. The Saturday market allows you to buy produce direct from the farmers including live ducks and chickens if you want them. Velo-rail, cycling on a railway line, is an interesting and unusual day out. The local cider maker lives only a mile away and will be glad to show you round.
