OUR STORY
The original house was built around 1800, it is the second home of a French family. Passed down from mother to daughter, it has undergone two major phases of work which have transformed it into a veritable mansion with an incredible look. During the Second World War the manor and its farm were occupied by the German army and it was not until 1945 that the house became a main residence. A renowned equestrian center was created there, which supported the owner family. If the farm where our neighbor raises horses still belongs to the original family, the manor had to find a new buyer in 2017. We opened gites there in 2019 to share our crush on this incredible property full of charm !
