This beautiful Normandy chateau was originally constructed in 1641 as a "manoir".  Set on an extensive estate in the heart of Normandy near the charming port town of Honfleur and the Victorian town of Deauville, famed for its casinos, annual film festival and horse racing. Extensive renovation has created a stylish mix of modern furnishings with the Chateau's classic features and many improvements to the landscaping.

In keeping with its history, the chateau has many gardens, all with different themes. Dine on the terrace overlooking the formal garden with its central fountain, bordered by the chapel, and the pavilion. Relax in the Italian walled garden bordered by espaliered fruit trees: ideal for a picnic, aperitifs or a game of chess!  There is a chapel within the grounds which was built in 1724 and is still consecrated. It can seat about 12 people and has been used recently for weddings, blessings and baptisms.

There is a strong horse racing tradition in this part of Normandy. The focal point is the racecourse in Deauville. There is a programme throughout the year, but the summer season is the most important. The "Boucles de la Seine Normande" Regional Nature Park, Monet' s house and garden and The Bayeux Tapestry are nearby.

Norman cuisine is famous throughout the world, especially the cheeses such as Camembert, Livarot and Pont l'Eveque and Calvados - the apple brandy. Seafood is excellent, butter and eggs can be bought direct from the local farm as well as chicken, guinea fowl etc according to season. Local markets are excellent, the nearest is in Beuzeville on Mondays, however there are also excellent ones in Honfleur on Saturday, Trouville on Sunday and Pont Audemer on Monday.
