Heating is by electric convector radiators. The garden and courtyard are fenced and hedged and, with the entrance gates shut, can be fully enclosed for the safety of children, and well-behaved, clean dogs. The Area There are 2 butchers in Quettehou who have barbecues outside their shops at weekends and holidays, providing succulent lamb, chicken and frites for takeaway lunches. At the markets you will find wonderful produce, fruit and vegetables, cheeses, charcuterie, pizzas cooked while you wait, paella, and barbecued meat of all sorts. There is a variety of bars and restaurants, and the fishmongers are, of course, excellent.
Patisseries generally are divine.
Les Fuschias' in St. Vaast la Hougue is a lovely, good quality restaurant. Quettehou provides the nearest shops and boulangerie for daily bread. It is as well to remember that all French banks, supermarkets and most shops close between 12 - 12.30 and 2.30pm for lunch, and banks are shut all day Monday. There are bank credit cash points in Quettehou and St. Vaast la Hougue, but if you change pounds to francs at the Bureau de Change at Portsmouth ferry port, no fee is charged. There is a lot to do and see in the area, particularly visiting the beaches of the allied landings in the world war II battle of Normandy.
