Information on Normandy

Panoramic view of beachside walkway

Our guests are all different, as groups and individuals within groups. Some come for pure peace, spending much time in the château and grounds. Others are keen to explore the region's rich heritage, gone from dawn to dusk. Normandy has much to offer and we will try to point you towards good sources of information:

Wikipedia on Normandy

Better than many Wiki pages, including a detailed breakdown of the regions.

Normandy's official site

A good source of information, which seems to be kept up to date.

Normandy events guide

Always up to date and comprehensive, a few venues you might otherwise miss.

Official site for Rouen

Many towns have their own site, this is useful and Rouen itself worth a visit.

Maps of Normandy

An essential aid and there is a good selection that can be ordered online.

Eye witness report

If you are interested in World War 2, this page is worth a read.

Normandy outdoors

A guide to the national parks and countryside, with interest for all ages.

Closer to the château

Tourist offices in Calvados

Rather than us give a partial list, they carry details of every office in the area.

Deauville's official site

We singled this one out. Well put together and a town close to the château.

The local region

Useful information covering Calvados, much of this dealing with the coastal region.

Normandy golf courses

The 19 main golf courses, with 10 in easy travelling distance of the chateau.

Deauville racecourse

Good technical information about the course and many helpful images.

Sailing in Normandy

A very useful guide, also carries information on other water sports.

Local restaurant guide

Discovering your own places is fun but their list will save a little time.

You can always share the activities mentioned above, or others you find, over a little supper. Enjoying the relaxed company of those who passed a quieter day, a French château holiday is not one holiday. If you have any particular question about the area, or useful facilities, you are welcome to contact us.
