Manoir Saint-Calais
Europe / France / Normandy
A one-of-a-kind country retreat, event destination, & thoughtfully-designed rental property. Nestled in the heart of Normandy, just beyond Paris.
Overview
Located just over an hour from Paris, Manoir Saint-Calais offers the ease and completeness of a truly turnkey countryside estate. Designed for both relaxation and recreation, the property features a private swimming pool, full tennis court, jacuzzi, sauna, and expansive grounds that invite guests to settle in and enjoy the rhythms of country life. Whether spending the day in Paris, exploring Normandy’s villages and coastline, or remaining at the estate to enjoy its many amenities, everything needed for a seamless and restorative stay is already in place.
Nestled in the verdant heart of Normandy, Manoir Saint-Calais has stood as a testament to French heritage when it was commissioned by a local dignitary as a hunting lodge. The architectural gem was recognized as a historic monument in 1996. Over the centuries, the property has changed hands, and in 2011, the Manoir was modernized while preserving its authentic character. The vision: to awaken the sleeping soul of Saint-Calais, redesign its spaces, and create experiences that honor its past while embracing the future. What emerges is not simply a destination but a welcoming retreat that honors its heritage and awaits a generation of new memories.
Welcome to your home away from home.
