Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on August 27, 2026.

In Ouilly-le-Vicomte, in the heart of the Pays d'Auge, Boutemont castle stands on a platform surrounded by dry moats, with its gatehouse tower and twin drawbridges and its 16th-century main building bearing the family motto over the honour pavilion. The visit takes in three historic rooms and a garden classified as remarkable, combining formal French layouts designed by Achille Duchêne with an Italian-style section of clipped box and yew. A former orangery now houses a restaurant, and wide lawns are open for picnics.
