During this summer, I wanted to get away from Paris. I must confess, living in the center of a big city can be overwhelming. Luckily, in France, many small towns are quiet and yet, accessible by train.
Among these small villages, Cuverville.
Going by Train to Cuverville, France
I avoid cars in France , not only because I care about the CO2 emissions, but also because cars became impractical unless you have a dedicated Taxi or a VTC licensed Driver.
If you’re trying to get to or from a smaller or less-traveled town such as Cuverville, there’s a good chance that no high-speed trains will run there. In these cases, you can choose between the Intercity and the Local train.
The Intercity offers a good balance of speed and cost, while the Local train is much slower but the cheapest option. The Intercity is the best choice for most routes. It’s usually faster and more comfortable than the Local train. You’re also less likely to run into delays on the Intercity, so you’ll get to your destination sooner. The Local is also a good option for shorter routes. For example, if you’re traveling from Avignon to Lyon, the Local train is a better bet than the Intercity. It’s about half the price and will get you there just as fast.

In the midst of wheat fields, a charming cute chalet rises. Named after a farrier, the "Ferranderie" is the workshop of a blacksmith caring for horse shoes, in French Maréchal-ferrant, which a hard artisan work that needs veterinarian and ironsmith to look after a horse's feet. The knowledge of anatomy and physiology of the lower leg is combined with the fabrication, adaptation, and adjustment of metal shoes to do so.
A farrier is someone who specializes in equine hoof care, including trimming and balancing a horse's hooves as well as fitting shoes to them if needed.
This is an independent guest house with a welcoming host who lives upstairs. you will enjoy a private apartment made of 4 different rooms.

In the living room, there is a couch that can be transformed into a bed.
The living room has its won private wc, so it can be used as another bed room.

Even though, the house belongs to a medieval Chateau, that you can still the king's coat of Arm on the cute fireplace, everything worked fine.
The house is very clean, in perfect order and smells very nice.
I was very happy with the owners and their services. The hosts are very interesting people, they are a small family, they are welcoming.
The internet is medium but enough to get to the emails and work on a website for example, to watch a youtube video or a netflix movie.
I enjoyed a complete privacy to work in a calm surrounding.
Like in a fairy tale, in the morning, you wake up to the sounds of the marching horses, or the roosters nearby. I told the hosts that I am vegetarian, and still, the host offered a generous vegetarian breakfast to start the day, with many local healthy fresh green products of the Normandy.
The hosts are very friendly and speak English very well.
The wife cooks many surprises such as the delicious citrus cake, the apple cake and the smellicious homemade honey & fig shower gel, made with figs from her garden !
