Picturesque Chateau

This chateau is located in a beautiful setting, calm and peaceful. It is perfect for a large family, with many bedrooms & en-suite bathrooms. We also enjoyed the swimming pool, game room and garden-with a trampoline & swing set.

Stunningly fabulous chateau

The chateau is fabulous, comfortable and just beautiful inside, I’d describe it as welcoming and peaceful. Grounds are lovely, lots of space to relax, play, BBQ and enjoy time with friends and family. The pool are was lovely and the pool perfect , including a pool bar and BBQ fir you to set up and use. Thibault is on-site if you need anything , the area is lovely for cycling and you are close to all the history & lovely Normandy villages. Highly recommend arranging Francois the chef to come in one night for a special meal - was all a lovely, memorable experience. We had a super 5 days , and wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Highly recommended.

Perfect

We choose this property to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday, and the whole experience was just wonderful. The Chateau is as beautiful as it looks, each room has its own en-suite so plenty of room and privacy for everyone. The pool area was wonderful and we were so lucky that we had the weather to enjoy it. We travelled as 4 groups, our own group consisting of 2 children, age 6 years and 10 months. There was a high chair, travel cot with good mattress and even baby change mats available. Also the trampoline was a hit with my 6 year old. We didn’t find the toys in the cupboard in the playroom until the last day, so that’s a tip to have a look in the cupboard. My only regret is not having longer at the property. We would definitely book to stay here again.

Amazing property and location

I can’t say enough about Thibault and his chateau. Our group of 13 had a wonderful stay! The chateau was clean and spacious. Our kids & teenagers enjoyed the pool, trampoline, snooker table, and game room. A highlight was hiring Francois, at Thibault’s recommendation, to cook for us one night. An amazing experience! It was also a treat to have both a washer and dryer to use. The property is very conveniently located for all D Day museums, sites, and activities. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Normandy!

Excellent stay

We had a great stay in this historic chateau, which we used as a base to explore Normandy. We had a mix of adults and teenagers in our 12 person group, and the chateau had plenty of room to cook, eat, and rest from our activities. Lovely classic house and the gardens and landscaping were classic Normandy. Thibault was always very responsive to our questions. We would stay here again.

Superb experience in a beautiful old chateau

The group consisted of extended family with young and old included. The facilities at the chateau were excellent with a lot of things thoughtfully put in place to cater for everyone of all ages in all eventualities. This is by no means just an old chateau being rented out - this is an beautiful old building, very well maintained by someone who obviously cares about the experience their guests have. Huge attention to detail has being paid to the property. Can’t recommend this Chateau highly enough, 10/10.

50th Anniversary Celebration

Our three generations had a fabulous week in this fairy tale location. We were smitten by the house, the gardens, and the surrounding area. There were plenty of rooms to find private space, as well as other gathering spaces to enjoy together. Our hosts, Thibault and Sophie, were friendly and quick to answer any questions. The grandchildren were delighted with the play areas and equipment and the large heated swimming pool. The home is in an ideal location for exploration and short day trips. We went to Mont Saint-Michel, Honfleur, Port En Bessin, Saint Mere Eglise, Bayeux, the American Cemetery and Museum, Omaha Beach, and Point du Hoc. We have rented homes in many countries, and this castle is at the top of our list. It was hard to leave, and we would be happy to spend more time here in the future. Highest recommendations!

Amazing chateau, with enough space!

An amazing chateau in a beautiful neighborhood. Close to Omaha beach and all the other D Day places. The owner Thibault was always there to help and fix problems. Unfortunately we couldn't get into the pool, it was too cold. (only 16 degrees, not really heated) We arranged a private chef for two nights, so nice they cook and clean everything. And the kids were asleep :-) I would highly recommend the Chateau!

Reunion at Chateau d'Argourges

I organised a special reunion for Middlesex Nurses - it was 50 years since we started our training and I chose Chateau d'Argourges as it appeared to have everything we needed. The Chateau turned out to be an absolute gem - very comfortable living space and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, gym swimming pool etc. Everyone loved it! There was so much to do in the area - Normandy beaches, Chateaus, gardens, museums, markets - we were never at a loss for something to do. The Beaches were more informative and emotional than we could have imagined. South of Bayeux, Jardin du Castillion was another gem and well worth a visit - created by a couple now well into their 80's and still gardening. I would thoroughly recommend a visit to this beautiful Chateau.

Одно из самых прекрасных мест, где я была!

Я провела потрясающую неделю в старинном французском шато в 20 минутах езды на машине от побережья Ла-Манша. Хозяева - Тибо и Софи - невероятно гостеприимные и доброжелательные люди! В шато есть абсолютно всё, что нужно для жизни, как дома - просторная кухня-столовая с посудомоечной машиной, светлые комната и ванная с огромными окнами, вайфай, стиральная и сушильная машины. По утрам слышно только пение птиц, а вид из окон только на зеленые деревья и цветы. Атмосфера в шато настолько уютная, что иногда даже не хотелось покидать его! Я была приятно удивлена возможностью плавать в конце сентября в бассейне с подогревом, особенно, когда в России в это время температура была около 12 градусов. В 15 минутах есть очень большой супермаркет, и мне повезло, что рядом с ним с 27 сентября открылся винный рынок, где представлено вино из разных регионов Франции.) В 10 минутах езды расположен рынок со свежей рыбой и морепродуктами. Также в городе Bayeux есть рынок, который работает по выходным. В этом же прекрасном средневековом городе есть множество магазинов и сувенирных лавок. Отдельное место в истории этого региона занимает Омаха Бич, которое стало одним из переломных моментов во Второй Мировой Войне. Если вас не интересует история, то можно просто провести время на одном из самых прекрасных пляжей Ла-Манша
