The Experience

Sweep through the magnificent gates and up a drive lined with mature trees. Hugely sophisticated interiors will please aesthetes; there is much comfort, plenty of space and you arrive to home-baked cakes. The enormous suites are on the first floor, one with views over the lake, the other looking over the river and waterfall. Both have their own sitting rooms and sumptuous bathrooms with free-standing tubs and walk-in showers.

Downstairs there are plenty of places to relax with a book, play the piano, discuss your next outing. Start the day with a grand breakfast, in the garden on fine days: yogurts, jams, charcuterie, cheeses, eggs and fresh fruits and bread. At weekends you can also have dinner and Jacques is an accomplished cook serving traditional French cuisine.

Wander through immaculate grounds, doze on a lounger listening to birdsong, gaze at geese on the tranquil lake, allow your earthly cares to disappear for a while.

Reviews

Jacques and Bernard will be very happy to share with you their beautiful home, a 19th-century château which they spent 30 years restoring. The guest suites are lavish and there's lots of inside and outside space for relaxing. Jacques is an accomplished cook and Bernard a passionate gardener. An ideal base for visiting Rouen and the area's numerous historic abbeys.

Location

The neighbourhood

Pavilly (a five-minute drive) is a bustling Norman town with a rich history, a Romanesque church and plenty of shops and restaurants. The owners recommend La Croix d'Or but there is a nearer restaurant – La Table de Jeanne – just outside the park which serves very reasonable food. You are 20 minutes from Rouen with its cobblestoned pedestrian centre, half-timbered medieval houses and cathedral.

Local points of interest from Jacques Brugerolle

  • In the area you can visit abbeys, manors, châteaux, museums and gardens, and enjoy local French cuisine.
  • Discover the legend of St. Austreberta and the wolf, and the legend of the spring water of Clairesource.

Introducing

Jacques Brugerolle

Friendly Jacques and Bernard have spent the last 30 years completely renovating the château and now they are throwing open their doors to guests. Bernard is a talented gardener and manages the parkland with aplomb, Jacques is a terrific cook. They clearly love entertaining and between them they look after you very well indeed.
