Domaine du Bois des Moutiers stands in Varengeville-sur-Mer (Seine-Maritime), in the Normandie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 19th century, first quarter of the 20th century).

Set on the cliffs of the Alabaster Coast at Varengeville-sur-Mer, this estate combines a manor house and gardens designed in 1898 by the banker Guillaume Mallet, with the British architect Edwin Lutyens and the landscape designer Gertrude Jekyll. It stands as one of France's rare examples of the Arts and Crafts movement and English architectural gardening, where house and plantings were conceived to answer one another. The grounds, grown on soil unusually acidic for this part of Normandy, hold several thousand species, including a century-old magnolia.
