A minute and a half in the air: the château, the ponds, the woods and the meadows.
The boundary does not go around the house: it runs through the middle of the building. It is drawn that way on the cadastre of 1831, and again on the surveyor's plan of 1937.
How it came this far is further down.
Every room is different; all look onto the park or the meadows. “Incredibly spacious”, one traveller wrote — it is the word that comes back most often in the reviews. The night is truly dark — you can see the stars.
See the rooms →The estate is open, all the time. You wander it without a map and without booking, at whatever pace suits you. Here is what you meet there, in no particular order.
At night, foxes and badgers cross, roe deer come to the orchard, a hare streaks across the meadow, pheasants rise under your feet — and a raccoon, which has no business being in Normandy, has decided to live here anyway.
A bird of prey lives in the drive. It is always alone, and we have never heard it cry. When a car comes in, it flies ahead of it, then vanishes between the trees.
Read the story of these trees →The garden in front of the château has been laid out in the French manner for at least a century: a notice of 1926 already speaks of a “cour d'honneur à la française”. The box, the paths, the axis — none of it has moved.
The yews have. They were clipped into cones. The present owner found them authoritarian — a little haughty, pointing skyward — and had them recut into cylinders, lower and wider.
The wisteria covers the gable of the outbuilding and flowers in May — it is the first thing you see on arriving. Roses climb the château wall and hold all summer. In April the cherry trees whiten the far end of the park; in October the drive disappears under leaves.
The persimmon tree was planted only recently and is already carrying dozens of fruit. Nobody expected that.

Two salons under exposed timberwork and beams, 148 m², up to one hundred and twelve covers. And, recently, fourteen beds under the original roof frame — for those who would rather not drive home.
One event at a time. On the day you come, the château and its park belong to you alone.

Caen and its Mémorial thirty minutes away. Bayeux and its tapestry thirty-five. The D-Day beaches forty-five. Mont-Saint-Michel an hour and forty-five. You leave in the morning, you come back at night.
In the evening, when you come back, the sun goes down red and the mallards settle behind the house. At night the owl hoots — and sometimes a roe deer barks. In the morning, mist rises off the pond. If you are looking for the comforts of a city hotel, this is not it. If you want to sleep in silence after a day of memory and roads, it is exactly it.
