Charming little rural village
With its 210 inhabitants, Plumetot is a peaceful little village in the heart of the Normandy countryside, just outside Caen and the D-Day beaches.
With its stone farms, narrow streets, and medieval church, Plumetot invites hikers to take a step back in time.
The village is surrounded by fields of flax, rapeseed, and wheat, crisscrossed by hiking trails.
Herds of cows and their calves also graze on the pastures around Plumetot.
The inhabitants have made it a tradition to decorate the village center around June 6 and at Christmas.
