Surrounded by scenic valley views overlooking the apple orchards used to produce the region's cider and calvados exports and the grazing cows in the fields. This 17th-century estate presents a magical setting from which to explore the best of Normandy. Positioned just a fifteen-minute drive from Honfleur and 30 kilometres away from the sought-after beaches of Deauville, it is also the perfect base to discover the Bayeux Tapestry, Monet's Garden, and the historic landing beaches. As you enter the home's grounds, you'll first be welcomed by a hedged garden and an abundance of traditional Normandic charm and character seen throughout the exterior of the farmhouse. Inside is just as enchanting, as while original features remain faithful to the home's heritage – modern designs and amenities pave the way to a comfortable and memorable stay. So after a day of discovery amidst the local countryside, sit in front of the fire and soak it all up with a glass of Calvados on the rocks while you ponder the space's fascinating history. Rumour has it; the neighbouring chateau has even played host to guests such as the Aga Khan and the Dalai Lama.
