Our Story

Some adventures begin with an opportunity. Ours began with a deep desire to change our lives… and, above all, to embark on a new adventure together as a family.

Before settling in the heart of the Pays d’Auge, our daily lives looked quite different.

Charlotte managed a hotel on the Normandy coast, where her mother, Laurence, had worked alongside her for several years. Timothée worked as a chef, while Romane was a massage therapist at a thalassotherapy centre.

We were all passionate about what we did, but one dream kept returning to our conversations: bringing our experience and expertise together in one place — somewhere that truly reflected who we are.

The Desire to Slow Down

The Normandy coast is beautiful, but life there moves at a fast pace, particularly during the tourist season.

Over the years, we began to long for more peace and quiet, more nature, and above all, a different way of welcoming our guests.

We dreamed of a place where we could offer a more personal experience, share our favourite places and recommendations, and allow each guest to enjoy Normandy at their own pace.

That desire eventually led us to La Ferme de L’Oudon.

Love at First Sight

From our very first visit, we knew there was something special about this place.

The old stone buildings, the tall trees, the meadows, the peaceful atmosphere… everything seemed to have a story to tell.

We immediately imagined what this former Norman farmhouse could become: a peaceful retreat for couples looking to unwind, families wanting to spend time together, and travellers simply wishing to slow down for a few days.

Above all, we realised that this was the place where we could finally work together.

A Family Adventure

Today, each of us brings something unique to La Ferme de L’Oudon & Spa.

Charlotte welcomes you and makes sure everything is in place for you to enjoy your stay from the moment you arrive.

Laurence prepares each accommodation with great care and pays close attention to the little details that make all the difference.

Timothée prepares our breakfasts and Table d’Hôtes dinners, sharing his passion for the flavours and produce of Normandy.

Romane welcomes you for massages and wellness treatments designed to help you relax and unwind.

It is this combination of our different personalities, skills and passions that has shaped the identity of La Ferme today.

Our Way of Welcoming You

We have made a simple choice: quality over quantity.

With only nine accommodations, we are able to give careful attention to every stay and remain available whenever our guests need us.

When you arrive, we take the time to welcome you and introduce you to the estate, before leaving you to enjoy your stay in complete peace and privacy.

We remain available whenever you need us — whether to recommend places to visit and things to do in Normandy, answer your questions, or provide the services and experiences you have booked.

Here, luxury is not measured by the number of rooms.

It is found in the peace and quiet, the open spaces, the surrounding nature, the animals of the estate, and the freedom to enjoy your stay at your own pace, knowing that we are here whenever you need us.

More Than Just a Place to Stay

When guests tell us that they were able to truly switch off, enjoy the peace and quiet, and leave feeling rested and refreshed, we know we made the right choice.

La Ferme de L’Oudon & Spa is more than simply a place to stay.

It is a family adventure, a way of life, and a place we have imagined and shaped to offer our guests a genuine moment of peace and escape.

We left behind a destination where travellers came to spend their holidays. Today, we have created a place where we hope they leave with much more than beautiful memories: the feeling that, for a little while, they truly took the time to live.

La dernière phrase, je la garderais absolument : elle est très forte pour terminer une page “Our Story” et donne une vraie identité à La Ferme de L’Oudon.
