Our Experts Say
Selected as this is a unique site set in the beautifully laid
out gardens and orchards of a magnificent château, not
far from Lisieux. As the name suggests the main focus of
this site is the dovecote overlooking the pool. All the
facilities are housed in attractive stone-faced buildings.
Strong emphasis is placed on traditional camping in a
peaceful atmosphere, enhanced by lovely verdant
surroundings. Some of the facilities are a little dated, but
the site is well maintained and is very popular with
British clients, as there are no mobile homes. Gites and
appartments newly installed in the chateau's
outbuildings are now available for hire.
