Whatever are your plans: a peaceful reunion of family and friends, a tour of the Normandy sites, a creative workshop, a business meeting or a private wedding ceremony, you will enjoy the beauty, freedom, flexibility and space provided by the chateau and its estate.
The Chateau was built on the site of the family’s 11th century medieval castle. The present grand design was under construction by 1789. It was inspired by Louis the Sun King’s Palace of Versailles. The estate covers 360 acres of park, woodland and farmland. The work of renovation started in 2005 go on today.
Chateau is a short drive from the Channel ports and Paris, but really far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. As you enter the gates of the private estate the only sound you will hear is the wind in the trees and birdsong. The Chateau was built to excite and fascinate. The ground level rooms are light filled and designed “enfilade”. One room flows into another as you walk from the marble floored reception hall to the spacious dining room and further on to the living room and library.
All common areas and en-suite bedrooms enjoy beautiful, panoramic views over the park or farmland that surround the property. The Chateau was recently refurbished to offer all the amenities of contemporary living whilst keeping the style and beauty of an 18th century way of life.
You and your guests will have at your disposal the following amenities:
- The huge park for you to explore with numerous picnic spots and historical features to discover!
