En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château les Bruyères, in Cambremer in Calvados, stands on a site inhabited as early as 1284, as attested by an engraved inscription found on the premises. In the early 20th century, the residence belonged to the Petit family, who welcomed the writer Marcel Proust there between 1904 and 1914. The present château, built around 1815-1816 in an elegant brick construction with stone facing and lime render, was acquired in 1925 by the Parisian perfumers Madame and Monsieur Chady-Bollack. Since December 1996, the estate, which preserves an old half-timbered well and cider press as well as a small stud farm of competition horses, has operated as a charming hotel-restaurant in the heart of the Pays d'Auge, on the cider route.
