A 15th-century manor house, 5 minutes from Deauville and near the Côte Fleurie, in the Pays d'Auge . When you approach the manor house from the street, a listed stone gateway marks the boundary of the property. Flanked by a perimeter wall, it opens onto a garden planted with trees, which the buildings are arranged around. There are two 15th century timber-framed houses, which have been listed as historic monuments since 2004. The small manor house is two storeys high. It is set at an angle to the larger, three-storey building, with a 13th-century octagonal stone stair tower at its centre. Gables and dormer windows liven up the façades, which combine half-timbering, cob and stone or brick bases in a checkerboard pattern typical of the Auge region. The double-pitched, flat-tiled roofs have sculpted corbelled dormers. At the end of the large manor house, a former farm building contains a 17th-century cider press. The small manor house can be identified by its wooden sculpture of a bishop's head on a door frame post. Opposite, an 18th-century orangery has been converted to be used for receptions and exhibitions. The property is set in vast enclosed grounds planted with trees. The landscaping of the plot enhances the buildings. Two outbuildings are set back beyond the small manor house. The softly laid-out English-style gardens are dotted with flower beds, pathways and wooded areas. Fruit trees and groves line the walls, while the listed boundary wall provides visual continuity with the buildings.
