Flow Studios has the advantage of being placed between the historic and tranquil village centre of Chailland and the peaceful manicured gardens that lead to a concealed forested expanse.
The history of this village is deeply marked by the forges, which from 1550, and during three centuries, were the heartbeat of the village. Washhouses and mills tell the story of everyday life. Identical small houses aligned along the river, reveal the importance of previous working communities.
Backed by a protective and reassuring rock face, the village takes form around the XIth century Romanesque church, with domain, mill and manor. A river that generates energy flows at its feet, feeding the surrounding forests. To fully embrace this incredible environment, it’s best to venture up to the terraced gardens and discover the century chapel and the virgin on the rock which overlook the village.
Mont-Saint-Michel, is one of Europe's most unforgettable sights. Dating back to the 8th century, this magical island topped by a gravity-defying medieval monastery, was for centuries one of Europe’s major pilgrimage destinations. Above medieval walls and towers, rise the clustered buildings of the village with the ancient abbey crowning the mount. This holy island is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, alongside its breathtaking bay. The connection between the Mont Saint-Michel and the mainland has changed over the centuries. Previously connected by a tidal causeway uncovered only at low tide, it was converted into a raised causeway in 1879. In 2014, the new bridge by architect Dietmar Feichtinger was opened to the public. The light bridge allows the waters to flow freely around the island. Mont-Saint-Michel can be reached by car from Flow Studios in 1hr20. Other beaches can also be reached within 1hr20, including Jullouville and Carolles.
