Falaise

Located just a few minutes’ walk from the historic centre of Falaise and William the Conqueror’s castle, this exceptional estate represents a rare opportunity to develop a high-end hospitality and tourism project in Normandy.

This former stud farm has been progressively converted over the years, while retaining its original character and adapting the buildings to create a welcoming and functional environment. The facilities are primarily dedicated to furnished holiday accommodation and offer a total weighted floor area of approximately 655 sqm. The estate is also equipped to host corporate meetings, seminars and retreats.

The entrance gates open onto the manor house, set at the heart of the estate and surrounded by mature landscaped grounds. Currently used as a private residence, the property could potentially be converted into an upscale restaurant or fine-dining venue. With its outdoor terraces, spacious ground-floor reception rooms and adjacent parking facilities, this elegant residence offers considerable potential.
