Château de la Ferrière

The stone château features symmetrical wings, high paneling, period fireplaces, and spacious rooms adorned with family heirlooms and artworks from France and Italy.

Built in 1735 on the remains of a 15th-century feudal castle, the property was commissioned by Claude Jacqueline Piedoue de Nerval, widow of the king's counselor.

Between 1762 and 1788, botanist Gabriel Moisson de Vaux conducted experiments in the gardens, corresponding with scientists Linné, Buffon, Cels, and Thouin.

The château provides five guest bedrooms, a swimming pool, and a terrace, located just 1.5 miles from Bayeux and 10 miles from the D-Day beaches.

The seventeen-hectare botanical park includes a Garden of the New World, which maintains French-American friendship connections through historical plantings.
