Our hotel ideas for a romantic weekend in Normandy

La Chenevière in Port-en-Bessin, Normandy

If you dream of a Romantic weekend for two in Normandy, La Chenevière is particularly suited to your expectations! In the heart of a grand manor built in the Age of Enlightenment between Isigny-sur-mer and Bayeux, a charming five-star hotel has taken its place, between tradition and modernity. Opening onto twelve hectares of verdant gardens – including a chivalric rose garden that is an absolute must-see – 29 keys occupy the mansion adorned with a polished, refined, and chic decor where contemporary furniture rubs shoulders with the codes of bygone romanticism. On the program: ceremonial fireplaces, marble bathrooms, floral prints, and gilding.

Le Botaniste, the gastronomic restaurant on site, unveils, through its chef Didier Robin, a cuisine that bridges land, sea, and garden, inspired by local resources. At L'Orangerie, dining is more casual, under the glass roof – the former orangery – overlooking the lush, abundantly flowered park.

If this luxury hotel The Côte Fleurie does not offer a wet relaxation area, but massages, access to the outdoor pool, a tennis court, and bicycle rentals are available.

Château d'Audrieu in... Audrieu in the Normandy countryside

Nestled halfway between Caen and Bayeux, this 18th-century building, a listed Historic Monument, has preserved its soul while transforming into a five-star luxury Relais et Châteaux – under the 2L Collection brand. Within its walls, 31 rooms and suites overlooking the park – and its meticulously trimmed shrubs – have been carefully personalized: carpet with coat-of-arms prints, shimmering colors, period furniture, and patterned tapestries.

Among other delights, there are two local product restaurants, including Le Séran (a gourmet restaurant), and the option to enjoy a chic picnic (smoked salmon, foie gras, and grand cru wines…) on the terrace or in the garden.

The must-have? A Sothys spa and a heated outdoor pool! Ideal for stay in a castle in the heart of the Norman bocage and near D-Day beaches.
