This week in the agenda

Château de Vauville stands in Vauville (Manche), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century). Adult admission costs 9.5 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In the Hague peninsula, at the north-western tip of the Cotentin, the Château de Vauville combines a 12th-century keep with two Renaissance wings added later. The main draw is the botanical garden surrounding the building, planted with exotic species unusual for this climate, along with the manor courtyard that is open to visitors. An 18th-century dovecote with over a thousand nesting holes completes this stone ensemble close to the shore.
