A large, luxurious home, its outbuildings and almost 5 ha between the Manche and Calvados departments in the Bessin region. The road gives direct access to the entrance courtyard. The 17th century house is directly in front. A large, Napoleon-style stable stands at right angles. Both buildings are surrounded by vast areas, laid to lawn, followed by meadows. The other outbuildings are set out behind the stables.

A completely renovated 16th century manor house close to Valognes and its railway station on the Cotentin pensinsula. Some 12th-century castle substructures are still visible, including Gothic arches and oubliettes. They show that the site has been occupied since the Middle Ages. Altered during the Renaissance, the chateau gradually turned into a holiday residence. Mullioned windows were installed in the 16th century, and a turret and entrance porch in the early 20th century. The main building, which is accessed via two entrances on either side, is now laid out in an L-shape. At the front of the manor house, the turret joins the two building wings. A house follows on from this. To the rear, a wide gravel courtyard opens onto two parallel rows of outbuildings. There is a circular well in the centre. Beyond this, another detached building was probably the former seigneurial bakery. The whole property forms a varied, composite site which is organised in a 'U' shape. All of the roofs are in perfect condition and made out of traditional slate. In addition to the farm buildings, the grounds form the estate enclosure. It gently slopes down over more than four hectares of hedgerows, meadows and grassy pastures.
