Information on Normandy

Sometimes, there is little more to do but stand and look. Then the mood changes, or others in the group become restless. Normandy has much to offer and we will try to point you towards good sources of information, through the links below.

Wikipedia on Normandy.
Better than many Wiki pages, including a detailed breakdown of the regions.
Normandy's official site.
A good source of information, which seems to be kept up to date.
Normandy events guide.
Always up to date and comprehensive, a few venues you might otherwise miss.
Official site for Rouen
Many towns have their own site, this is useful and Rouen itself worth a visit.
Maps of Normandy
An essential aid and there is a good selection that can be ordered online.
Eye witness report
If you are interested in World War 2, this page is worth a read.
Normandy outdoors
A guide to the national parks and countryside, with interest for all ages.

Closer to the chateau

Tourist office organisation
Rather than us give a partial list, they carry details of every office in the area.
Deauville's official site
We singled this one out. Well put together and a town close to the chateau.
The local region
Useful information covering Calvados, much of this dealing with the coastal region.
Normandy golf courses
The 19 main golf courses, with 10 in easy travelling distance of the chateau.
Deauville racecourse
Good technical information about the course and many helpful images.
Sailing in Normandy
A very useful guide, also carries information on other water sports.
Local restaurant guide
Discovering your own places is fun but their list will save a little time.

If you feel we can help with further information on local activities, please feel free to contact us. We hope you will join us in a region with such diversity.

Stepping outside the chateau

Our guests are all different, both as groups and individuals within groups. Some come for the pure peace, spending much time in the chateau and grounds, others are gone from dawn to dusk.

Even then, they can share their activities over a little supper, in the relaxed company of those who passed a quieter day. A French chateau holiday is not one holiday, more an opportunity to choose.

We hope this page supports that choice. If you find links that would help, please let us know. Any useful resources you discovered on your holiday, will also be very welcome.
