Fabulous! That's the best way to describe a stay at this chateau and its surroundings. The chateau was everything we had hoped: authentic, clean, well appointed, elegant and charmingly decorated with Norman antiques and artifacts and beautifully landscaped. Picking herbs from the kitchen garden, afternoon swims in the pool, early morning walks in the quiet countryside, late nights by the fire pit or in the chateau "pub"....these are memories we'll treasure forever. Once we managed to tear ourselves from the chateau, we visited the WWII landing beaches, Mt St Michelle, Bayeux, Granville, Cancale, Caen.. all located within driving distance. Great choice for couples or families. We will definitely return!!
