Chateaux in Normandy

Below are some brief descriptions of the luxury chateaux and castles that we have in Normandy. Please click on any chateau that you are interested in for full details.

 

Chateau de Sévigné: The Comte and Comtess welcome you to their stunning Chateau de Sévigné. This is a truly magnificent and romantic chateau with a quite incredible history. The surrender of Cherbourg was signed within the chateau walls between the Germans and the Americans on the June 26th 1944. Words can’t describe what a remarkable chateau and estate this is, and quite superb value for money. Hard to beat.

 

Chateau de Montmire: This 19th century Normandy chateau has a private indoor pool! The chateau can sleep 33 and the coach house 8. Fish in the pond, wander through the 2 acres of private grounds, or entertain yourselves in the games room. For the size, level of comfort and location the Chateau de Montmire is tremendous value for money.

 

Chateau la Monte Epingle: Your hosts welcome you to their fantastic fairytale chateau in Normandy. This informal and shabby chic chateau is a superb location for a holiday or wedding. The chateau is 20 minutes from the beach. 43 can be slept on site, making Chateau la Monte Epingle great value for money.

 

Domaine du Mont: A stunning chateau in landscaped gardens that is only 20 minutes from Deauville and the landing beaches. Daily maid service is included in the chateau rental price. The pool is heated and comes with a pool house with showers.

 

Le Castelet: A classic Napoleon III chateau with six ensuite bedrooms. There is a large open plan entertaining area with a baby grand piano and a sunny terrace running the length of the building. It is perfect for parties of up to 14 people. The chateau is set in four acres of parkland and is ideally located to visit Mont St Michel, the Bayeux Tapestry and the D Day Beaches. The chateau can be hired on a self catering or fully catered basis.

 

Chateau les Fontaines: The property is run as a B&B when it is not hired out to groups so the bedrooms are kept in excellent condition and breakfast is available every day should you want it. There is also a snooker room on the top floor and the gardens are beautiful.

 

Manoir de Blousse-Ville: This manor house comes with a private pool (with pool house & bar) and a tennis court. It is also only 10 minutes from Deauville and the Normandy coastline with a sea views from the manoir.

 

Manoir de la Gauguinery: Great value and full of character, this is a charming little manor house that is just a short drive to the coast and only 40km from the port of Cherbourg. Fishing is available in the river.

 

La Poterie: Another great value manor house that is entirely secluded yet only a short walk to the local boulangerie. Solid oak furniture and a log fire create a very special atmosphere inside. There is also a hammock, a croquet lawn, a barbeque and bicycles available.

 

Domaine des Bellefonds: This manor house neighbours a stunning chateau but lies in its own private grounds lined with trees that separate the chateau and the manoir. Meals can be taken in the chateau or you can do your own cooking in the manoir which has been divided in to 3 self-contained apartments making it ideal for 2 or 3 families.

 

Things to do whilst staying at your luxury chateau in Normandy:

 

Normandy has a tremendously rich heritage of battlefields, cathedrals, imposing chateaux, beaches and fine cuisine. Normandy incidentally gets its name from the 10th-century Norman Vikings that settled in the region.

 

The real places of interest of Normandy include the long and distinctive beaches (Norman Riviera) and fashionable ancient harbours. Deauville attracts the Paris’ elite on holiday with its villa's, chateau, casinos and horse racing. Honfleur and Barfleur are too ancient French ports worth visiting. Rouen is the capital of Normandy, perhaps most famous for witnessing the passing of France’s most famous heroine, Joan of Arc.

 

The Normandy D-Day landing beaches are a constant reminder of the Second World War in Normandy for the French, as are the ruins in Rouen from the Blitz bombs. Normandy is also home to the Bayeux tapestry so this quarter of France is historically a very significant destination to holiday in France!

 

Normandy's proximity to the UK means that Normandy is an extremely popular for long weekend breaks and family chateau holidays. Furthermore Normandy has some of the best golf courses in France.
