Château du Mesnil-Geoffroy stands in Ermenouville (Seine-Maritime), in the Normandie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument. Adult admission costs 8 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on August 13, 2026.

In Ermenouville, a few kilometres from the cliffs of the Caux region, the château du Mesnil-Geoffroy has kept its original 18th-century interior decor, with panelled rooms, a dining hall and bedchambers that reflect the life of Norman nobility. Its ten-hectare park, unchanged in layout since the 1700s, holds one of the largest private collections of old roses in Normandy, alongside a kitchen garden of heritage vegetables. Victor Hugo and Saint-Exupéry both stayed here, and the house is still lived in by its owners today.
