General & History

This perfect example of a Napoleonic chateau is set in four acres of parkland just outside the cathedral city of Coutances and is ideally placed to visit all of Normandy’s top tourist sights, including Mont St Michel, the D-Day beaches and the Bayeux Tapestry.

This beautiful petit chateau has six luxurious bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms or shower rooms. Downstairs there is a huge entertaining room (over 76 square metres) with a stunning white baby grand piano. There French windows opening onto a sun drenched terrace. There is also a large kitchen, library with UK TV and a laundry room.

The chateau can be rented on a self catering basis or on a B&B basis with daily cleaning. Whichever option you choose, we can arrange superb dinners, suppers, lunches and picnics each day. It is the ideal venue for celebrations, family get togethers, weddings or small business conferences. Please see the Catering & Services section for further information.

The chateau is just over an hour from the ferry ports of Caen, Cherbourg or St Malo. Alternatively, you can fly to Dinard from Stansted, Bristol or East Midlands. By train it is 3 hours from Paris.

The chateau is just 20 minutes from deserted beaches with beautiful sand dunes. There are also stunning golf courses and horse riding nearby. Plus the chateau has two pet alpacas that you can take for walks!

The chateau was built in the late 19th century on the site of a small medieval castle. It has a very classic, symmetrical, look with two turrets and was originally a summer house for a judge from Paris.
