Louis XIII-style château with Rocaille-style interior, formal gardens, and rose bushes.
This 17th-century château in the Louis XIII style is an elegant, well-preserved brick and slate building. Its interiors are richly decorated in 18th-century rocaille style. Today, it belongs to Prince and Princess Kayali, who reside here and are happy to show you all the beauties of their property. The estate is renowned for its remarkable formal gardens and the 2,100 rose bushes that make up Normandy's largest private collection. In May, the irises bloom, followed by roses, hydrangeas and rhododendrons, in an explosion of color and fragrance. Visitors can also discover the "Jardin des Murmures", a quiet space in the garden where they are invited to relax and enjoy the spectacle of nature in bloom. A moment of absolute relaxation and contemplation for the eyes, but also for the ears, which enjoy the gentle melody of the oboe, flute and violin. If you're coming as a family, you'll also be enchanted by the free treasure hunt designed for children, allowing them to explore the gardens and labyrinth in complete freedom, using a variety of enigmas. At the château, you'll discover the history of perfumes through the favorite fragrances of Sissi, Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour, and on certain dates, workshops are organized to create your own scents!

Merci aux propriétaires d'ouvrir leur domaine à la visite. Les pièces d'époque, avec du mobilier d'époque.
Patricia était une excellente guide, avec beaucoup d'anecdotes, de savoir et de connaissances sur ce lieu.
Les roseraies et le jardin sont magnifiques.
Petit château, qui vaut le détour !
