Bed and Breakfast with a Self - Catering Formula
The Orangerie is a beautifully kept estate situated in the middle of the lovely countryside of the Pays d’Auge. The grounds are composed of a splendid garden with extensive lawns and a private forest.
The house is an elegant building of the 18th. century. The Orangerie was built to house the orange trees in the winter and has been transformed in the early 19th. century. The owners have preserved all the original elements of past days, and the antique furniture in the rooms are cosy, with all the necessary elements for your comfort.
The hamlet consists of a couple of old houses here and there, and the church which is no longer in use. The château has been destroyed, but the estate still keeps a certain aristocratic air.
