Description
La Ferme de Billy en Normandie, Calvados. Rots, un petit village bien normand, installé au cœur du Calvados, en Plaine de Caen, aux portes du Bessin, terre de céréales, et terre de pommes.

1651, Jacques de Billy. Du plus loin que les archives et les passionnés d’histoire puissent nous éclairer. Une date gravée dans la pierre de la demeure au cœur du domaine, maison historiquement au toit de chaume, qui appartenait alors à la famille de Billy.

Depuis, dans la famille depuis 5 générations. D’abord bergers, on perpétue, dans la famille, le métier de la terre de père en fils. C’est dans les années 30 que le domaine prend sa taille actuelle, quand René Vauvrecy, père d’Henri – le grand-père – acquiert, avec son épouse Florise, le corps de ferme et ses terres attenantes ainsi que la Chapelle de l’Ortial.
