An 18th-Century Chateau Between History & Haute Terroir
Set close to historic Omaha Beach and the picturesque fishing port of Port-en-Bessin, Château La Chenevière conceals an aristocratic treasure at the end of a winding tree-lined drive. Arriving on the 12-hectare estate feels like strolling onto the tranquil grounds of an English lord who fell under the timeless spell of Normandy's Calvados region.
The dignified 18th-century stone manor appears at last, adorned with climbing ivy, stone balustrades, and an old-fashioned rose garden filled with heirloom blooms. Inside, 29 individually appointed guestrooms and suites preserve authentic period woodwork, decorative fireplaces, and pastoral French fabrics, paired with modern five-star comfort.
Gastronomy is celebrated in two distinct venues: the flagship fine-dining restaurant Le Botaniste, where Chef Didier Robin creates refined seasonal dishes utilizing vegetables harvested daily from the château's permaculture potager kitchen garden, and Le Petit Jardin, a charming bistronomic restaurant set inside the property's historic glass conservatory overlooking the heated outdoor swimming pool.
