Hôtel de Beaumont, Private mansion in Valognes, France.

The Hôtel de Beaumont displays classical French architecture with a central pavilion and an elegant staircase adorned with decorative elements.

Built between 1767 and 1771 by architect Raphaël de Lozon, the mansion underwent transformation from an existing stone pavilion owned by the Jallot family.

The mansion appears in Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly's 1850 novel 'Le Dessous de cartes d'une partie de whist' as a central setting.

Visitors can explore the mansion from July 1st to September 15th daily, except Sunday mornings, with guided tours available in French.

Field Marshal Erwin Rommel used the mansion as his quarters in 1944 when German forces requisitioned the building during World War II.
