“The farmhouse was spacious and accommodated our party of 9 perfectly. There is only 1 twin room and the rest are doubles but that was fine. Lovely wood burner and plenty of logs. Kitchen fully equipped and there was actually salt, pepper, oil, herbs...”

This wonderful farmhouse sits within the grounds of a magnificent 17th century estate. It is set in lovely hedged gardens and makes the perfect base to explore the Bayeux Tapestry, Monet's Garden, and the landing beaches. It is only a 14km-drive from Honfleur and 30km from Deauville.
The farmhouse, which has its own entrance and pretty valley views, is surrounded by orchards (for cider and calvados) and grazing land with cows. It has space for up to 10 guests across its five pretty bedrooms and four bath or shower rooms. You will also find an inviting living room as well as a characterful kitchen and dining room, perfect for preparing Normandy feasts to enjoy with your family or friends.
The farmhouse stands adjacent to the owner's neighbouring 9-bedroom château, which can be rented separately or both properties can be booked together for up to 28 guests (see Domaine Du Pont: Entire Estate) with a pathway and gate connecting the two. The whole estate has a fascinating history since it was originally built in the 16th century and enlarged in around 1720 - in more recent times the neighbouring château has played host to guests such as the Aga Khan and the Dalai Lama.

The nearest port to the château is Le Havre (35km) and the nearest town is Beuzeville (5km). About three minutes drive from the château there is a small village which has a butcher’s, a baker’s, and a takeaway pizza restaurant, which is good for emergencies! There is also a very nice French restaurant. If you want to try slightly further afield (just another 10 minutes!) you will find many good restaurants in the picturesque setting of Honfleur, a medieval fishing port. If you go further afield to Deauville (30km), there are a number of very smart restaurants as well as a lovely sandy beach.
Normandy has a huge amount to offer – and most of it is within a reasonable drive of the château. It has something for everyone from old cities, Monet's garden, the landing beaches and historic sites such as the Bayeux tapestry to beaches, holiday resorts and casinos.
The area is well supplied in terms of sports facilities - for both participants and spectators. In particular, it is well known as a hub for equine pursuits - there are numerous studs, including the Aga Khan's, and in the summer there are horse auctions and Horse Racing and Polo at Deauville. There is also Horse Riding available locally. There are many golf courses within 30 minutes of the chateau, or the one in Etretat, situated on top of the cliffs, overlooking the channel, 57 km away.
Other day trips include the Landing Beaches, the Bayeux Tapestry and Monet's Garden. Honfleur (17km) is a fishing and sailing port located in the Seine estuary about 15 minutes from the château. Deauville (30km) is great for smart shops, cafes and people watching. This cosmopolitan sea-side resort has a large and beautiful beach, a marina, and a casino.
Normandy is rightly famous for its food - especially the cheeses such as Livarot Camembert, and Pont l'Eveque - and Calvados, the apple brandy. The French love of good food means that all ingredients also have to be of the highest quality. Seafood is fantastic and local producers are famous in the area for quality, taste, and price.
Local markets are fantastic and are often the major source of food for the locals. The nearest market is in Beuzeville on Tuesday mornings. However, there are also excellent ones in Honfleur (Saturday), Trouville (Sunday) and Pont Audemer (Monday). There are many restaurants in nearby villages. also many restaurants in nearby villages – the best guide to them is the Michelin Guide.
The Region
History and gastronomy go hand-in-hand in Normandy, making it a great choice if culture and fine dining are what you’re looking for in a holiday! There’s still plenty on offer besides the food and tales of yesteryear, however – you can take a tour around some of the beautiful inland towns and villages or head to the coast, where you’ll find a mixture of wide sandy beaches and rugged, romantic cliffs.
