holidays rental of private mansion Villers-sur-Mer, France

A witness to the 17th and 18th centuries, the Hôtel d'Auxais stands proudly in the historic heart of Bayeux, just a stone's throw from the Cathedral. This building has stood the test of time, contemplating the descendants of William the Conqueror, withstanding the ravages of the Second World War and watching the return of General de Gaulle in 1944. It was built and lived in by the d'Auxais family, direct descendants of William the Conqueror who distinguished themselves in 1423 by being among the 119 defenders of Mont Saint Michel when Normandy was in the hands of the English. After 3 years of complete restoration, this place steeped in history is reborn to write its new life. On the ground floor, there is a master suite and a laundry room. On the first floor, a vast, fully-equipped contemporary kitchen and a reception room with 'Versailles' parquet flooring, a period fireplace, very high ceilings and magical light at all times. The second floor houses a second master suite and a 3-bed dormitory with a 2-shower bathroom. Come and experience exceptional emotions in this place steeped in history and be among the first to add another stone to this edifice and write a new page in this story.
