Manoir de Vauville

The manor features thick stone walls reaching one meter in width, with a central keep and two lateral wings dating from medieval times.

Richard de Vauville established the original structure in 1163, surrounded by moats that were later transformed into gardens during the Renaissance period.

The manor received recognition as a historical monument in 1972, including its facades, roofs, and dovecote containing over one thousand nesting boxes.

The botanical garden and manor courtyard open to visitors throughout the year, hosting various events such as concerts and literary readings.

The garden contains plant species from various global temperate regions, earning the official designation of remarkable garden of France in 2020.
