Casa Rosalie is nestled in France’s idyllic Perche region. While Paris is always a good idea, if you ask Parisians about their favorite places to escape the hustle and bustle of the French capital, you’ll often hear them mention Perche. This picturesque region in Normandy, located about an hour and a half from the City of Light, has emerged as Parisians’ go-to weekend vacation spot. The area’s scenic landscapes, small medieval villages, and lush forests also brought Anne-Christelle Roussel and Bertrand L’huillier to tranquil Tourouvre-au-Perche, where they openedCasa Rosaliein October 2022.

Retirees appreciate the simple joys of life in these charming and nostalgic towns.
