Go there and contact
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 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 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 colour and fragrance. In 2023, this exceptional site will welcome the "Jardin des Murmures": a quiet space in the garden, where visitors 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. Mozart, Vivaldi and Massenet are among us! 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, thanks to a variety of enigmas. On the château tour, you’ll discover the history of 18th-century perfumes through the favourite fragrances of Sissi, Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour, which you can then purchase in the boutique.

Members' reviews on CASTLE AND GARDEN OF MESNIL-GEOFFROY
Un jeu simple dans le labyrinthe pour les enfants qui leur permettent de s'amuser et d'apprendre.
Un parc et un château toujours aussi joli et entretenu. Un retour pour nous qui étions venu il a plus de 15 ans pour profiter des chambres d'hôtes.
