With his decorations, Hervé lights up the children’s faces.
The retired driver has made his house in La Lande Vaumont (in Vire Normandy) a magical place for the end of year celebrations.
As soon as the sun sets, everything starts to sparkle. With a surprise this year, music adds that wonderful something.
And Hervé Leroy is not at his first attempt. He has been decorating his pavilion for Christmas for 35 years, with the help of his wife Patricia and his son, Tanguy.
“I do this for the children”
Passionate about electricity, the 69-year-old buys some of his decorations second-hand, but most are made by himself. “I like it,” laughs the Christmas handyman.
I do this for the children. I started with a small pattern that is still on display. It’s actually the first decoration my son puts up every year.

The magic of Christmas is priceless. Despite inflation and the cost of energy, the passion does not weaken one iota. “Some people go to concerts or other things, but my thing is Christmas decorations.”
1.6 km from guirlandes
45,000 LED bulbs have invaded the garden and the house. 1.6 km of garlands. “Every year I add certain things.” This winter, lanterns appeared.

Every day, cars slow down in front of these illuminations. And sometimes we come from far away.
I have people who come from Mayenne to see my decorations. We found words in the mailbox to thank us. It’s the only reward we have and it warms our hearts.
