Information on Normandy
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:
