About This Villa

Set in magnificent gardens with a private swimming pool, embrace the romanticism of this Normandy château, perfectly located for visiting Monet’s Giverny gardens, the Forêt de Lyons, Rouen and even the great city of Paris.

Château Eure is for guests seeking authenticity and tradition in an elegant château which exudes historic charm. Step through its doors to be greeted with inviting living and dining spaces and a stylish French kitchen, all with pretty windows framing the views of the glorious grounds. Wander up to the top two floors for six doubles, a twin and four delightfully old-fashioned bathrooms. Each bedroom has its own unique character with a timeless blend of old and new furnishings. In most of the rooms you can peep through the windows and gaze out towards bucolic Vexin landscapes.

It's wonderful to have a swimming pool in the gardens of this impressive Normandy abode and the pool house’s summer kitchen is ideal for preparing al-fresco feasts for family and friends. Take a stroll through the formal gardens with its hedges and vines, find a bench for a moment of peace, then join loved ones on the lawn whilst admiring the façade of your handsome French château.

There is so much to see during your time at Château Eure. Experience the Wednesday morning market in one of the nearby villages selling local fruit, vegetables, honey, produits du terroir and fish straight from the boats of Dieppe, and look out for the annual brocante if staying in September. The twice-weekly market in Gisors, the historic capital of the Normandy-Vexin region, is another gem, combined with a visit to the town’s 11th century fortress and Rue de Vienne’s half-timbered houses and shops.

Spend time in Normandy’s largest forest, Forêt de Lyons, and venture to the gorgeous village of Lyons-la-Forêt, one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, then admire the roses in the famous village of Gerberoy which has inspired so many artists over the years. Of course, one of the main draws of this region is Monet’s gardens in Giverny, reached in only half an hour by car.

Other must-sees include Château Gaillard in Les Andelys, the gastronomic restaurants and galleries of historic Rouen and maybe even the Pays de Caux beaches near Dieppe. The most adventurous guests could even head into Paris for a day out exploring its museums, parks and grands magasins before returning to the tranquillity of your beautiful Normandy château.
