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 !

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
