Discover the Château d'Audrieu, a historical monument in Calvados, near Bayeux and the D-Day beaches. Behind its elegant 18th-century architecture, this place vibrates with the echoes of a thousand lives and a thousand battles. Its history begins in the 11th century with the Percy family: Guillaume de Percy, cook to William the Conqueror, opens the first chapters of this fascinating epic and a long culinary tradition that we continue today.
In 1593, the lordship passed to the de Séran family, ennobled by Louis XIII and distinguished by figures of war and literary salons. During the Restoration, their coat of arms merged with that of the Percys, proudly adorning the pediment of the château.
During the Second World War, the castle withstood Allied and German attacks, resisting in the heart of “No Man's Land”.
Today, 25 hectares of parks, bordered by natural ponds, invite you to wander.
The donkeys, Nono & Zoé, gently guard the premises, while the frogs croak in unison.
The gardens, redesigned by Louis Benech in 1985, are home to a vegetable garden where Alain Scelles grows rare treasures, including aromatic herbs and edible flowers.
Inside, the Château feels like a family home, with its cozy library, gourmet restaurant, historic lounges and period furniture.
Within its walls, time takes pride in passing peacefully, as if not to disturb the soul of this exceptional heritage.
An invitation to suspend time during a stay with family or friends.
