Acquigny, the garden of romance, poetry and new discoveries

Labelled a “Remarkable Garden”, the Château d’Acquigny park extends over 16 hectares and serves as the setting for the magnificent Renaissance-style Château d’Acquigny. Designed at the end of the 18th century and listed as a historic monument, this romantic park will appeal to garden lovers and epicureans alike. As the seasons change, this picturesque setting offers a seductive harmony of colours for delightful country walks with family, friends or couples.

Admire the exceptional trees in the botanical garden, some of which are over a hundred years old. Discover a thousand and one exotic scents in the orangery and vegetable garden. Follow the serpentine river over the waterfalls and enjoy the soothing effect of the water on an idyllic walk.

Le Manoir de Senneville, style and elegance of the Norman Renaissanceat Amfreville-sous-les-Monts

Built in the early 16th century, this manor house raises its high slate roof with remarkable dormer windows over facades of pink brick and Vernon stone. Its imposing stature is surprising, and its mullioned windows reflect typical Norman Renaissance architecture. Inside, the two fireplaces and the 17th-century stucco and stone salon are admirable. The majestic silhouette of the Manoir can be appreciated from its pretty gardens. A short stroll in the grounds will reveal a monumental 16th-century dovecote and a 17th-century carriage house, witnesses to the rural seigneurial life of this region.

The Moulin d’Andé, an exceptional site dedicated to culture.

Dating back to the 12th century, the Moulin d’Andé is the last specimen of a “hanging mill” on the Seine to be listed as a historic monument.

Under the aegis of Suzanne Lipinska, the site became an artists’ residence and a venue dedicated to music and shows offering its guests an enchanting setting appreciated by the biggest names in cinema, literature and music, including François Truffaut, Maurice Pons and Georges Perec. The venue is now home to CECI, the Centre des Ecritures Cinématograpiques, and hosts over a hundred concerts and shows every year.

The park is open to visitors on Saturdays from 9am to 12pm and 2pm to 7pm.

A breathtaking view of the Seine and its meanders

A veritable green setting listed as a historic monument since 2008, the Moulin d’Andé park extends over 15 hectares from the banks of the Seine to the top of the hillside, offering beautiful views of the river and its meanders. A belvedere allows you to contemplate the landscape from above the treetops.

Protected decorative features

Designed at the very beginning of the 20th century, it features a fine collection of faux-wood cement features (rockery walls, kiosks, railings) of great finesse of execution, where it is sometimes difficult to discern the real from the fake.

Take some time to stroll around,
in some truly peaceful havens!
