Sixteenth-century Norman manor
The historic estate runs like a private country house, where evenings wind down beside an open hearth with regional cider.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This 16th-century farmhouse features luxurious rooms and suites, some under the eaves, furnished with thick oak doors and Burgundy tiled floors.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Quiet pastures and country lanes surround the grounds, with the cathedral city of Rouen thirty minutes north.
The rooms
Individually styled bedrooms make the most of quirky timber layouts, with dormer windows framing the grounds and deep bathtubs for soaking.
The pool and sauna
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated 20-meter lap pool hides behind garden hedges, and glass-fronted sauna and steam cabins sit steps away.
The spa
Treatment rooms host Cinq Mondes facials and Maison Maya bodywork, leading into candlelit relaxation areas with wicker armchairs.
Restaurant
La Table du Manoir
Head Chef Steeven Gallet prepares a nightly four-course menu highlighting local Norman ingredients under exposed timber beams.
How it began
Co-owner Camille Oeyen spent her childhood on the estate before returning with her husband to convert the historic farm.
