Chateau De Cource France
Holiday Home Rental Description
With style reminiscent of a miniature Versailles, this chateau in Normandy conjures the grandeur of the 17th and 18th centuries. You’ll admire the chateau’s classic touches (the stonework in the garden or the Aubusson carpets on the floor), but you’ll love the modern amenities, like the jetted tubs and the villa’s private pool.
This is no dark and dreary castle – large windows on both sides of the chateau let light stream in throughout the day. Sportsmen and women will adore the private tennis court, fishing in the moat, and the extensive grounds – bicycles are available for anyone to take a tour. The beach at Fontenay-Sur-Mer is within easy biking distance. Through the gardens, 100m away from the main chateau, is a separate cottage that’s perfect for a small family who prefers more privacy.
Here, your family chateau holiday includes the best of both worlds: peaceful French countryside, with access to historic sites. Only 15 minutes away WWII history comes to life in the town of Sainte-Mère-Église and Utah Beach, the site of the D-Day landing. Cherbourg & Caen is the nearest airport, but it may also be convenient to drive from Paris, 3 hours away.
Chateau de Cource lies in the heart of the wild and beautiful Cotentin Peninsula area in Normandy, in Fontenay sur Mer, 300 km west of Paris. The closest train station is Valognes (12 km).
Discover and enjoy the local area by walking and biking through the beautiful and quiet countryside.
Visit the historic town of Valognes: (Hotel de Beaumont and the famous Cider Museum) that provides all the conveniences and is only ten minutes away from the chateau.
The chateau is 3 miles from the beach and a 18 hole golf course created 30 years ago by the father of the current owner of the chateau.
There are also several riding clubs around where lessons or private hire can be organised.
