Manoir de Chivré sits in Normandy’s green countryside, 40 minutes from Caen between historic Bayeux and Saint-Lô, and 15 km from the D-Day landing beaches. Fully renovated between 2009 and 2012 and reopened in 2013, this wedding chateau in Normandy features restored stonework, timber framing, and contemporary comforts in a serene rural setting.
Weddings unfold across a bright reception hall with five bay windows, a stream-side park, and covered Arches that remove the need for a wet-weather plan.

Exclusive hire, on-site accommodation for 106 guests, and dedicated event spaces create an immersive celebration setting close to Normandy’s celebrated heritage towns and coastline.
