The Region

   




The Mesnil-Geoffroy Chateau is 8km from the sea, not far from Dieppe with its Ivory Museum and its world renowned Kite Flying Competition, not far from Fécamp and its Benedictine Palace, not far from Etretat and its famous cliffs and not far from many other places of interest.

Do you like the sea? St Valery en Caux is a seaside town only 7 km away and offer a beach, games and facilities for the children and trips out to sea. Do you like the sea and walking? Veules les Roses is only 8km away and is one of the most beautiful villages of France. There is a walking circuit along the smallest river in France that takes you along the Veules for just over a kilometre to the beach passing by 18th century thatched cottages and water mills. And a little rest along the way at the Tea Rooms would complete the day.

Do you like visiting gardens? All within a radius of 30 km there are no less15 famous gardens open to the public like the Parc des Moutiers, the Garden of Princess Sturdza, Le Potager de Miromesnil, le Clos du Coudray, le Jardin de Louanne.

Do you like walking or riding through the countryside? We provide a map of the trail which leaves from the Chateau. Our Region has the most trails and paths across the countryside, where the blue linseed fields, the hydrangeas, the wheat and the woods make a marvellous backdrop to the villages with their thatched roof and half timbered cottages. A 10 km walk will take you to the village where Bourvil had his family home.

Do you like visiting Chateaux and our heritage? Again our region is one where there are the most chateaux and manors in France. They are all privately owned but some open there doors during the tourist season.
