Manoir du Fay stands in Yvetot (Seine-Maritime), in the Normandie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In Yvetot, the Fay manor house preserves an early 17th-century dwelling built in brick and limestone for Pierre Houel de Valleville, great-uncle of playwright Pierre Corneille. The estate, bought by the town in 1989, follows the traditional Normandy clos-masure layout and includes a seven-hectare park with an orchard and a kitchen garden. Visitors can also see an external stair turret and restored farm buildings, which received the 2023 Rubans du patrimoine award.
