In Normandy, 15 km from Bayeux, an 18th-century château registered as a historic monument, set in a 60-hectare estate of land, woods, and groves. Before entering the village of Vaubadon, hidden behind a dense hedge, an avenue lined with a triple row of lime trees, grassed on either side, stretches in a slow perspective that introduces the estate. It leads to the wrought-iron gate, at the end of which stands the courtyard, preceded by moats. Surrounding it are various elements of the property: the walled kitchen garden and the gardener's house, the pond, the tennis court, and then the outbuildings, arranged around a large central courtyard. At the back, the park, registered as a historic monument, unfolds its lines to a large pond bordered by rhododendrons. This pond, more than just a simple amenity, marks a transition to the surrounding countryside, like a passage between a designed landscape and nature allowed a freer expression. The regularity of the openings, the height of the roofs, and the clarity of the composition characterize the entire building. The château features a southeast-facing facade, oriented towards the courtyard, whose regular layout and harmonious proportions confirm its classical character. Elevated two stories under the attic and resting on a semi-buried garden level, it is organized around a central structuring body, extended by volumes added in the 19th century. The slate roofs, punctuated by dormers and tall chimney stacks, as well as four pavilions topped with higher roofs, help to rhythmically define the silhouette and affirm the presence of the dwelling in the landscape. This clarity of composition, the alliance between symmetry, order, and decor, earned the château its historic monument registration in 2012.This description has been automatically translated from French.
