A magnificent 17th century château set in stunning landscaped gardens, the château is the perfect base to explore the Bayeux Tapestry, Monet's Garden, and the landing beaches. It is only a 14km-drive drive from Honfleur and 30km from Deauville.
The main château at Domaine Du Pont can sleep up to 16 to 18 guests across nine beautiful bedrooms. The ground floor entertaining spaces are superb with antique chandeliers and other original features whilst three of the rooms open up to the gardens, especially wonderful in the summer months. In the old stable block there is a heated swimming pool and pool house whilst outside you will also find the formal and Italian garden as well as the grand fountain which can be switched on in summer months.
The outside of the estate has been untouched since it was originally built in the 16th century and enlarged in around 1720. The interior is fully modernised, though. It has had a fascinating history, from being used as a safe house for aristocrats being smuggled out of France during the revolution, to being used by the Resistance during the Second World War. Since the war the château has had a much more refined and tranquil existence, but has also played host to guests such as the Aga Khan and the Dalai Lama.
- The estate also features a farmhouse in the neighbouring field which is also available to book either separately (see Domaine Du Pont - Farmhouse) or together with the château (see Domaine Du Pont - Entire Estate).
- Please note that there are two Estate Guardian dogs living 18 metres from the château. Dogs/pets are otherwise strictly not permitted in the château and its grounds.
- On occasion, the manager and other staff will need to access the château and/or its grounds for housekeeping and maintenance reasons during your stay.
- As always, guests should exercise a duty of care over the château and grounds, and its fixtures and fittings. Only guests on the final rental confirmation are permitted - day guests/overnight visitors are not allowed.
