Thanks to the pumpkins in the chateau’s garden (and some carving skills) our staff wishes you a happy Halloween!
The Dieter family from Germany had a lovely archery afternoon in July.
To continue with our seasonal products, we recently harvested walnuts from the walnut trees in the chateau’s gardens.
Our glasshouse, classed as an Historic Monument, is being restored in the chateau’s gardens. Once done, it will welcome different kinds of vegetables or fruits. It’s up to the gardener to choose !
Another batch of apples is growing in the chateau’s orchard… Any suggestions on what the chef should do with it ?
Not very far from Canisy, the British painter David Hockney settled in a timbered house from a small Norman village. For more informations about his life and his coup de foudre for Normandy, you can read this article : https://www.parismatch.com/Culture/Art/David-Hockney-au-pays-de-Monet-1653284
From the 23rd to the 26th of October, come and enjoy the guitar festival being held for the 4th time in La Haye and Lessay (40mn away from the chateau).

Too many apples in the chateau’s orchard? Not a problem! Our chef prepared some homemade applesauce and we now have enough jars to get through winter with homegrown fruits to go with some foie gras or a classic, but ever so comforting, homemade apple pie (And surely enough for you to come and taste it!)
The animals from the chateau’s menagerie are enjoying the autumn weather, especially our fallow deer ! Come and say hi to him and others or have a walk in our 800 acres gardens.
