MIROMESNIL CASTLE
The château boasts a vegetable garden that has been awarded the "Remarkable Garden" label.
Controversy rages as to whether Guy de Maupassant was born in this château or in the less "aristocratic" Fécamp. But in the end, it doesn't matter, because Miromesnil doesn't need this famous birth to illustrate four centuries of architecture in an exceptional way. With a Louis XIII façade, a Henri IV façade and 19th-century wings, it has been awarded the "Maison des illustres" label. As for the kitchen garden, it has been awarded the "Jardin remarquable" label. The park is superb, with its beech grove, flowering kitchen garden and bicentenary cedar... Tip for Maupassant fans: Etretat is nearby, so don't hesitate to visit La Guillette (route de Criquetôt l'Esneval), the house the author of Bel-Ami had built there, to immerse yourself in his world...

Sa jeune collègue nous a montré la chapelle qui a elle seule mérité le déplacement avec ses statues polychromes du 16e et ses magnifiques boiseries du 18e.
Le potager, symphonie de couleurs et de formes, justifie sa célébrité.
Assurément une très belle visite ou l'intelligence des commentaires pallie l'ameublement assez ordinaire du château qui connut sans doute de meilleures heures avant la révolution ( rien ne reste de l'ameublement d'origine mais le guide sait restituer l'ambiance de cette très belle maison a l'époque des lumières puis de ses illustres occupant, Guy de Maupassant et le marquis de Miromesnil, garde des sceaux de Louis XVI qui abolit l'usage de la question peu avant la révolution....
Une très belle visite d'un très beau château avec un parc remarquable.
Le guide est exceptionnel et manquer la visite guidée serait vraiment dommage...
Un jour peut être, on reviendra sans chien !
