Origin according to the tradition of the name of Belle-Etoile: 'The Sire of Cerisy, Henri de Beaufou, had gone to the Crusade, leaving at home his wife, Edicie de Romilly, whose family was attached to that of the Dukes. Several years passed without any message reassuring Edicie about the fate of her husband. She sometimes went to take her dreamy sadness to the edge of the woods, near a spring called the Fairy Fountain, because the fairies came there, it was said, to dance in the pale rays of the moon. It was perhaps one of those sacred springs so dear to our ancestors the Gauls. Perhaps also the great oaks, which rose on its banks, had seen the Druids accomplishing their mysteries there. Anyway, one spring morning, Edicie, seated near the transparent wave, addressed an ardent prayer to God for the return of the absent one. Suddenly it seemed to him that a bright light shimmered on the surface of the water. It was doubtless the reflected image of a star which shone in the depths of the firmament. But for the supplicant, it was salvation! And in fact, soon Henri de Beaufou was back. Escaped from the thousand perils of a very long journey, he could finally press his wife to his heart. At the height of joy, he wanted to give the nascent abbey the name of BELLE-ÉTOILE, in memory of the miraculous star. » Note on History: - 1216, foundation, rich endowment by a lord close to the King of England. - 1238, abbey church. - Cloister started in 1496. - Looted by the reformed 2nd half of the 16th century - Report of the parliament of Normandy ordering it to be raised from its ruins in 1600 - 1620, The Calvinists are driven out. - 1630, the Premonstratensians arrive and restore order in the functioning of the abbey. - 1791, dismantling, part of the library is in the departmental archives, the place becomes an industrial site 'for the factory of rose cup, alum, vitriolic acid, soap, cotton fabrics of all kinds'. - 1818, the vaults of the abbey are reported to have fallen. - 1841, the industrial exploitation is announced stopped.

A wild world accessible at the gates of this charming property. Saint Pierre-du-Regard has a very ancient origin. It is mentioned in the charter of the Abbey of Lonlay in 1026. The commune was divided into 6 fiefs, the largest of which belonged to the Lords of SamoI. In the 13th century, mention is made of 'grand and petit Samoi'. Arriving at the village of 'grand Samoi', you can see a 17th-century castle, converted into a farm. This castle was split in two after a family quarrel. At first, it was a half-fiefdom, the seat of high justice, before becoming a barony: 'Famille de Samoi'. Originally, the castle was flanked by three cannon-armed towers. These towers were partly demolished by the two heir brothers. Today, one tower and part of the pond remain. At the time of the French Revolution, unlike neighboring communes that had rallied to the Republic, Saint-Pierre du regard remained loyal to the Royalists. On several occasions, the château du 'grand Samoi' was the venue for meetings of Chouannerie leaders.... In 2016, a British couple fell in love with the site, acquired it and restored it in its entirety. From then on, they lived in it and brought it back to life, without neglecting its surroundings, which were, to say the least, abandoned. The property features a 3-storey main building covered by a slate roof with 2 pointed slopes. A tower with a harmonized ridge links the main building with a slightly recessed structure, completing the perfect balance of the whole. The building is built of limestone rubble, with lime pointing. Beautiful 'lantern' windows provide plenty of interior light. The tower has retained some of its loopholes, testifying to the defensive status of the former château.
