Our opinion
An extremely elegant, self-contained property. The current owners live here all year round; consequently, the building is in an excellent state of repair.
Several decorative features are quite remarkable such as the wainscoting with coat-of-arms brought in from the Rouen Law Courts.
And lastly, this small 19th century castle with an exterior that to all intents and purposes appears to date from the 17th century, has been restored in all simplicity, preserving its individuality.
A building that radiates feelings of goodwill.
