At this chateau in Normandy, modern New York design meets classic French elegance. You'll instantly see why this chic 17th century chateau has been featured on the covers of Maison Normandes and Elle Decor.
The sunny interior has been expertly designed, with stylish sitting areas throughout the house where you can relax, have a chat, and gaze out towards the ten acres of beautiful gardens. A wonderful new spacious conservatory, featuring an impressive La Cornue kitchen, offers further opportunities to relax and socialise with family and friends.
The splendid formal dining room, featuring silk handprinted De Gournay wallpaper, is ideal for lingering evening meals on cooler evenings. Wine aficionados can also head down to the two original caves under the chateau which have been lovingly restored to create the perfect spot for wine and cheese tastings, sampling the fine products that this region has to offer.
Outside is the chateau's newly refurbished private heated swimming pool surrounded by comfortable loungers and beautiful paving featuring Spanish mosaics. The ten acres of land include formal gardens, a pond and lawns, perfect for a spot of cricket. If you want to explore beyond the grounds, borrow a bicycle and take a ride through the fields to the nearby village to pick up fresh bread and croissants or wander further afield in the beautiful surrounding countryside.
A 40 minute drive will take you to the capital of the Normandy region, Rouen (40 km). This medieval city holds historic and artistic treasures, like works by Monet at Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen. Indeed, Monet's own gardens at Giverny are just an hour's drive from the chateau. With Paris and the D-Day beaches each only 2 hours away, northern France is at your fingertips.
The owners have taken great pride in creating an elegant yet inviting ambience at Chateau Lazuline, ideal for those wishing to experience graceful style, exquisite surroundings and a warm welcome in this idyllic part of France.
- The owners' neighbouring Farmhouse Lazuline (8 guests) is also available to rent, either separately or alongside the château, subject to availability. They are next door to each other but private, separated by a pine tree hedge, and they each have their own entrance.
- Please note that children will need to be supervised around the pool and pond as they are both unfenced.
- The local villages are pretty quiet so you will have to drive a little further afield to find nightlife.
- Walking distance to a village however please note that the route does not have pavements
