Domaine de Chantore stands in Bacilly (Manche), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Built at the end of the 18th century on the site of an earlier settlement, the château de Chantore stands in Bacilly with views towards Mont-Saint-Michel. The visit's interest lies as much in the well-preserved, understated building as in the landscaped park, reshaped under the Third Republic by Georges Genreau, an enthusiastic botanist who added an artificial stream, rockwork, cascades and ornamental follies. The whole estate - château, stables, outbuildings, farm and the park's hydraulic system - is now a listed historic monument.
