I cannot say enough about our experience at the Chateau de Colombieres. Begining with the host M. Mapeau who was lovely, warm and very helpful, the experience was perfection and authentic from start to finish. The castle and the grounds are magnificent, the room: which was the Watchman's Tower, was roomy and extremely comfortable for our family. The breakfast was... More

We stayed at the Chateau for several nights in September 2010. This area of Normandy has abundant historic sites, and the location of the Chateau is excellent for easy and quick access to these many sites, such as Bayeux, Caen, WWII sites along the Normandy beaches, Chateau de Balleroy, and more. Bottom line: this is a delightful place to stay... More

We were treated royally by our host Charles. He shared his family's history and the history of the chateau. We were offered a welcoming glass of wine in the courtyard and a tour of his private WW2 history project. Our room was so special. Louis 14th decor. We are recommending it to all of our friends. Merci Charles More

I was in awe as soon as we saw this beautiful chateau; even more impressed after meeting Charles. He welcomed us on a cool April evening with a fire in the kitchen,... More

We enjoyed a fabulous stay at the chateau this fall. Our host, Charles, and his family were delightful and very helpful in assisting us with planning our visit to local sights. One of the highlights was sipping champagne in the medieval kitchen next to a roaring fire. My relatives have not stopped telling everyone they know about the amazing time... More

The Chateau has a wonderful history. It is very quiet and seems remote, yet is only a few miles to the D-Day beaches and to the town of Bayeux. Mr. Etienne de Maupeou is a charming host and we enjoyed talking with him about his life, his family and the chateau history. His recommendations for restaurants were also excellent. Mont... More
