Tips from the Community

Luc Gesell
December 2, 2025, Château de Pontécoulant

The estate, nestled between the bocage countryside and the Suisse Normande region, has belonged to the Calvados department since 1896. The château, gamekeeper's and gardener's lodges, dovecote, farmhouse, woods, and lands all bear witness to its noble past. A museum also allows visitors to discover the furniture, as well as family heirlooms and decorative objects that bring the Pontécoulant family history to life.
