Enjoyed Most: The extensive grounds were wonderful for children to play. The bicycles were a good addition. Enjoyed Least: Some of the mattresses were small and lumpy. Surrounding Area: Beautiful countryside with easy access to Valognes, and two good restaurants were only a five-minute walk away. Nearby Events or Locales: Valognes was about five minutes by car and offered everything necessary for stocking the Chateau. Tips or Restaurants: The best restaurant finds were in St. Vaast on the coast about 20 minutes away. The oysters were outstanding and the seafood in general was great.
