Where history, elegance and genuine hospitality meet on the Côte Fleurie, Normandy
Stretching along the English Channel, from Merville-Franceville-Plage in the west to Honfleur in the east, the Côte Fleurie (Flowered Coast) is a wonderfully pretty coastline dotted with bays, cliffs, beaches and picture-perfect villages. From atop Mont Canisy – the highest ground in Normandy – Maison Douce Époque surveys this lovely scene, taking in the glamorous seaside resort of Deauville located just five minutes’ away.
The manor itself dates back to 1909 when its three-year construction began, finally ending in 1912. 14 bedrooms and suites, a restaurant, bar, wine cellars, spa and gym are housed within the manor and former stables. Original stone walls, wood panelling and Belle Époque elegance are a lasting tribute to Maison’s history and character enhanced by local artisans and regional suppliers who have helped modernise, personalise and individualise each of the interiors.
Likewise, in Le Romanesque restaurant, local produce determines the accessible, honest and generous cuisine by Chef Kévin Legoy who trained at the Ritz Paris. He too also happens to be a local whose decision to return needs no explanation. The coastal walks, equestrian culture, open-air markets, chic boardwalks and art galleries make this a great place to live.
Consult Maison’s concierge to make the most of your time here with trips to nearby châteaux and gardens, literary walks inspired by former Norman residents Proust and Flaubert, and cooking classes with local chefs. Of course, time spent in the spa’s hammam and Jacuzzi is always valuable. The outdoor pool, wooded grounds, relaxation area and games room, with chess, solitaire and Scrabble, provide additional pockets of peace.
