Tucked into the wooded hills of Normandy’s Pays d’Auge, Château d’Hébertot is a 17th-century estate surrounded by deep moats, ancient avenues, and spring-fed streams. The château stands on the grounds of a former manor once visited by William the Conqueror, Richard the Lionheart, and John Lackland. Built over three centuries, the estate reflects a layered history—expanded in the 18th century by the d’Aguessau family and later restored by industrialist Adrien Gillotin.
During World War II, the château served as a German headquarters and was transformed into a British field hospital following the D-Day landings. Today, the château offers exclusive use for weddings and private events in an authentic French setting. With landscaped gardens, formal terraces, and sweeping parkland, the estate can host up to 250 guests outdoors. Nearby, Deauville, Honfleur, and Cabourg are within 15 to 30 minutes, making it both an accessible and remarkable destination for a wedding immersed in history.
Accommodation:
Château d’Hébertot accommodates 16 overnight guests in eight ensuite double bedrooms arranged across two upper floors. Four suites on the first floor feature desks and garden views, while the second floor includes four additional bedrooms and a playroom for children. Shared living spaces include a vaulted entrance hall, a formal dining room seating 22, and a cosy red salon ideal for after-dinner conversation. A country kitchen is staffed by two cooks who introduce guests to traditional Norman cuisine. A library, TV lounge, and a private cinema with its own bar complete the experience of comfort and heritage.

The estate’s 1100m² of interior space and surrounding parkland ensure a setting of rare scale, privacy, and historical depth for weddings and multi-day stays.
