Discover the Pays d’Auge and the Côte Fleurie

Explore Normandy from Le Domaine d’Angerville

Le Domaine d’Angerville is the ideal base from which to discover all that Normandy has to offer. Situated just over 2 hours’ drive from Paris, our 5 guest rooms and our gîte have the advantage of being at the crossroads of the Pays d’Auge and the Côte Fleurie, two postcard territories of the region.

The Pays d’Auge, land of horses and heritage

The Pays d’Auge is a geological region renowned for its bucolic landscapes, historical heritage and equestrian tradition. Its green hills, blossoming apple trees and hedged meadows make for an idyllic setting. The Pays d’Auge is also famous for its prestigious haras, where some of the finest racehorses and saddle horses are bred. Horse-riding enthusiasts can discover numerous equestrian centers and attend renowned equestrian competitions.

The Pays d’Auge’s architectural heritage is equally remarkable. Charming villages such as Beuvron-en-Auge, Beaumont-en-Auge and Pont-l’Évêque are dotted with typical half-timbered houses and manor houses.

The cider route through the Pays d’Auge invites you to discover local flavors, including cider and calvados. Not forgetting the famous Normandy cheeses: camembert, pont-l’évêque and livarot.

The Côte Fleurie, its beaches and villas

The Côte Fleurie is the coastal strip stretching some 40 kilometers between Merville-Franceville-Plage and Honfleur. It is famous for its sandy beaches and charming seaside villas. Renowned resorts such as Cabourg, Houlgate, Deauville and Trouville-sur-Mer attract relaxation-seeking tourists every year.

Côte Fleurie villas, built in the 19th and early 20th centuries, add a touch of refinement. These residences, often in the Belle Époque or Anglo-Norman style, bear witness to the region’s social history. Stroll along Deauville’s famous “Planches”, discover Trouville’s lively market, lounge on the beaches with their famous parasols, stroll through Honfleur‘s narrow streets to discover its art galleries, …

The Côte Fleurie is also rich in cultural events, including the Deauville American Film Festival.

A perfect blend of nature and architecture, this coast seduces with its timeless beauty and unique atmosphere.

Normandy, a land of history

Beyond the Pays d’Auge and Côte Fleurie, Normandy abounds in riches accessible by car in a day’s drive from Le Domaine d’Angerville.

The D-Day Beaches and the Caen Memorial, a museum dedicated to 20th-century history and peace, offer a poignant immersion in this key period in our history.

Further afield, Mont-Saint-Michel, a medieval abbey perched on a rocky islet, is a must-see world heritage masterpiece.

To the south, the Haras du Pin, nicknamed the “Versailles of the horse”, is a prestigious equestrian center reflecting Normandy’s equestrian tradition that will appeal to horse lovers.

On the other side of the Seine, Le Havre, with its modern architecture listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Rouen, known for its Gothic cathedral and medieval streets, are two other Norman gems.

Finally, the unmistakable cliffs of Étretat, famous for their natural arches and needles, offer a breathtaking view of the Normandy coast. These limestone formations, immortalized by artists such as Monet, attract visitors for their spectacular panoramas and picturesque hiking trails. A true natural wonder.
