Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Set on 125 acres of lush parkland, this palatial home blends history with modern features to ensure that you live comfortably within its storied walls. Start your morning with a complimentary breakfast before taking a walk around the manicured gardens. You may even take a book and a thermos and sit down to read for an hour when you come across a spot you particularly like. With some luck, you might spot one of the deer that roam freely here. Spend days in and around the private outdoor or indoor pools and if there’s a particular knot in your shoulder that won’t let go in the hot tub, book yourself in for a stress-relieving massage in the spa room. Feeling far more relaxed, you can find your flow with yoga practice before an endorphin-boosting session in the sauna. Wander the halls of the château where Marie-Antoinette’s brother, Emperor Joseph II, stayed in the late 18th century and dream about what else has taken place between the four walls. To help your imagination, you might host your own candle-lit costume ball, taking drinks in the drawing room before. Practice piano scales, dine alfresco, picnic on the lawn, or come together in... the cinema room for a private screening of your favourite movie. If you can stomach leaving this elegant and comfortable home for even a bit, you can head to Normandy’s beaches, only minutes away.

Local guide
About Normandy
Normandy is a region steeped in history and culture, with stunning landscapes at every turn. It's home to picturesque towns and villages, white chalk cliffs, pristine beaches, and celebrated landmarks. Our suggestion is Mont Saint Michel – an island topped with a striking medieval abbey that seems to rise right out of the sea. It's one of France's most unique and visited attractions, with gothic architecture, ramparts and narrow streets...

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
