Absolutely sublime estate! Everything is very well thought out and practical as a reception venue! The work carried out is really successful, especially on the farm house for accommodation! Thanks to Thomas for all the management! I recommend this place with my eyes closed!

The area as a whole is magnificent. The reception room offers a large reception capacity with several possible configurations according to everyone's wishes. The surrounding park also allows all guests to enjoy the outdoors, and includes a large courtyard to compensate for the uncertainties of the Norman weather. A magnificent gîte can also be rented from the same owners (up to 14 beds), close to the reception room. In summary, this estate was a perfect setting for our wedding. Last but not least, the venue manager, Thomas, who supported us perfectly in organizing the reception, providing us with lots of advice. THANKS !

A very pretty room Rebuilt identically. The location for the DJ is ideal. A wooded exterior that allows you to make a reception. Ideal for a wedding.

Sé Catedral (Cathedral of Lisbon)

The Cathedral of Saint Mary Major, often called Lisbon Cathedral or simply the Sé, is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Lisbon, Portugal. The oldest church in the city, it is the seat of the Patriarchate of Lisbon. The cathedral has survived many earthquakes and has been modified, renovated and restored several times. It is nowadays a mix of different architectural styles. 

The site where it stands was the principal mosque of Lisbon when it was an Arab settlement. The construction of the cathedral started around 1150, three years after the city was conquered from the Moors during the Second Crusade. Shortly after the victory the English knight Gilbert of Hastings was named bishop of the city of Lisbon.

One good reason to visit the Cathedral is to visit its charming cloisters located in the back. There are several tombs in the cathedral, the most notable of which is the beautifully sculpted tomb of Lopo Fernandes Pacheco and his wife.
