Built around
1840, the Château is set on a hillside in 4 acres of partly wooded land with a
picturesque view over rolling farmland to the east. The château has been newly
decorated and simply furnished to allow family and friends to enjoy a relaxing
holiday or special occasion. Delightfully quiet and secluded, the château is
approached by a woodland drive and is just 25 minutes south of the port of
Cherbourg and 50 minutes from Carpiquet (Caen) airport making it easily
accessible by flight or ferry.
The western coast with extensive sandy beaches is 15 minutes drive, whilst the
famous World War II landing beaches are 30 minutes to the east. The historic
market town of St Sauveur le Vicomte dominated by a medieval castle, is 5
minutes drive from the château and provides all amenities. A national forest
