The Experience

The estate dates back to the 12th century and the ruin of the church has roots in the 11th. Inside, the lodge is thoroughly elegant and spacious; you enter through a long vaulted hall with a refectory table (there are two bedrooms down here) then up one level to another dining area, a lovely living room with working fireplace and a kitchen corner, then bay windows opening to green views.

On rainy days you can listen to music, read books by the fireside or slope off to your very own spa with a pool and jacuzzi. In summer you’ll be glued to the deep terrace, eating meals at the enormous wooden table, firing up the Weber barbecue and admiring the views. You’ll hear plenty of birdsong and the odd bleating sheep, but otherwise this is a very quiet spot.

A welcome hamper awaits and the owners can organise a chef for a medieval dinner (costumes provided), archery lessons, summer lunches in the garden, or sunset drinks and nibbles.

Reviews

A beautiful, stylish and comfortable address in a green and medieval wonderland; providing the bliss of peace and quiet in an eco-responsible environment. Loved it.
Inspected Georgina Sawday's Inspector
Gitte, København S

Our family - 4 adults, 4 children and a dog - stayed at this beautiful place and had a great time exploring Normandy from here. We loved the historical buildings, the rural feeling, the garden and of course the Spa area. We felt very welcome and looked after Vincent and his family.

Diane, Bagnols En foret

We stayed at this delightful gîte for 9 days and enjoyed every minute. The accommodation is excellent - comfort combined with history. The setting is magnificent as the house is surrounded by beautiful gardens and is adjacent to a stunning medieval church and property. In addition the spa and pool provide a great way to relax. Finally the presence of some farm animals - chickens and sheep complete the rural eco friendly ambiance of this wonderful property.

Graham, Eastbourne

La Motte Feodale is absolutely wonderful! The location was ideal in a quiet village not far from main routes so easy to get to visit places of interest. The gite is a very nice large property within a beautiful setting. Plenty of land around with farm animals which were a hit with the younger members of our family as well as the archery and other games on site. The house is beautifully kept with spacious, clean and nicely decorated rooms in line with the history of the property. The whole house feels like you are transported back to the medieval era but with well equipped modern amenities.

Joey, Leeds

Such a stunning place to stay and so unusual. We all loved it and would come again. A place to relax and chill. You do need a car, but it’s so close to supermarkets, towns, restaurants and places to visit in Normandy. Julie & Victor were great hosts and so welcoming. Thank you

Location

The neighbourhood

There are two acres of grassy space and mature fruit trees to wander around and sheep, goats, chickens and geese to say hello to. The nearest bakery is 3kms in Acquigny where there is also a beautiful château. Louviers is 6kms for a large street market on Saturdays and a small one on Wednesdays, lots of restaurants and shops. Rouen is 35kms for the famous cathedral, river port and opera house.

Local points of interest from Vincent Depuydt

  • The Motte Castrale of the site dates from around the 9th century, from the Viking invasions on the Seine leading to the various seats of the city of Paris.
  • In the 12th century, the English king Henry 1st Beauclerc son of Guillaume the conqueror, fortified the Motte Castrale de Mesnil Jourdain with stones to protect the borders of the Duchy of Normandy from the kingdom of France.
  • Today, the 12th century foundations are still visible on top of the Motte Castrale. In the 14th and 15th century during the Hundred Years War, stones from the 12th century were used to rebuild the church and the Manor of Hellenvilliers just opposite.
  • In the 17th century, a notable from the parliament of Rouen bought the seigniorial fiefdom of Mesnil Jourdain. he had the hunting lodge built in 1605.
  • After the French Revolution, the hunting lodge became a relay for pilgrims on the way to Saint Jacques de Compostela passing through Evreux. The building is called 'The relay of Saint Jacques'.
  • During the Second World War, this former hunting lodge was occupied by a division of the English army, and the inhabitants of the village nicknamed it 'The English flag'.
