The Gallery


Welcome

Welcome to my rustic retreat,my hideaway and studio.The gallery is in the heart of Normandy 20 mins from Rouen and 20 mins from the coast(Dieppe). From spring 2009 the "La Vieille Gallerie" will be available to book for holidays through "French country cottages".The house is nestled into the heart of one of Normandies most traditional secluded "class A Heritage"protected villages BEAUNAY. A completely authentic Hamlet with only a dozen houses to complement the church, the local school, the town hall, the village pond and of course the Gallery itself.
