Château de Chéronne

Tuffé-Val-de-la-Chéronne, France

Château de Chéronne was originally built in the 14th century, but nothing remains of original wooden building. The gatehouse, built around 1490, is the oldest part today. The Renaissance style chateau dates mainly from the 16th century and is surrounded by a moat (later filled).

Today Château de Chéronne is used for weddings and other events.

My son got married at Chateau de Chéronne last July and it was 2 unforgettable days! The property is magnificent, very well maintained, lots of comfortable accommodation in the castle as well as in pretty outbuildings allowing families and close friends to stay. The reception tent is also very beautiful. But above all, above all, the owners are charming and Ludovic who was our contact was from the beginning to the end of the process, available, efficient, understanding and really very, very friendly! I recommend with eyes closed or rather wide open as the place is beautiful and the organization of the wedding simplified by the support of Ludovic!

A magical place for a wedding and as part of a yoga retreat the place is surprising in its serenity, simple beauty, with large green spaces, buildings that speak "stories", this place has a truly beautiful soul. Lose yourself in the vegetable garden... a little English air reigns there. A real change of scenery 2 hours from Paris.

We rented one house in the farm right next to the castle. It was super clean and super comfortable. Lots of glasses, kitchen utensils, and that you need.

Abbey of Saint-Georges

Saint-Georges de Boscherville Abbey is a former Benedictine abbey. It was founded in about 1113 by Guillaume de Tancarville on the site of an earlier establishment of secular canons and settled by monks from the Abbey of Saint-Evroul. The abbey church made of Caumont stone was erected from 1113 to 1140. The Norman builders aimed to have very well-lit naves and they did this by means of tall, large windows, initially made possible by a wooden ceiling, which prevented uplift, although this was replaced by a Gothic vault in the 13th century. The chapter room was built after the abbey church and dates from the last quarter of the 12th century.

The arrival of the Maurist monks in 1659, after the disasters of the Wars of Religion, helped to get the abbey back on a firmer spiritual, architectural and economic footing. They erected a large monastic building one wing of which fitted tightly around the chapter house (which was otherwise left as it was).
