The Orangerie is a beautifully kept estate in the middle of the lovely coutryside of the Pays d’Auge. The grounds are composed of a splendid garden with extensive lawns and a private forest ,and the house itself is an elegant building of the 18th. century. The atmosphere here is of happy memories and serene calm, where you can enjoy a really restful holiday.

The hamlet consists of a couple of old houses here and there, and the church which is no longer in use. The château has been destroyed, but the estate still keeps a certain aristocratic air.

The Orangerie was built to house the orange trees in the winter and has been transformed in the early 19 th. century. The owners have preserved all the original elements of past days, and the antique furnitured rooms are cosy, with all the necessary elements for your comfort

We either serve them in the decorated kitchen or in the garden in front of the house, where you can bask in the early morning sun. Marie-Christine serves you tea, coffee, hot chocolate, according to your wishes, milk and fruit juices, with excellent crispy croissants, jam and local butter. She will have a cup with you, and tell you all about the little nooks and crannies you should’nt miss in this regionwhich is so rich in hidden treasures. Or she will be pleased to give you all the necessary information you may request.

For stays longer than 3 days, and for families with small children, you can freely use the kitchen and the tools you need to do your own meals.
