About
our region Servigny is situated in the heart of the Contentin peninsular, just south of Cherbourg, 4 minutes from the small, historical town of Valognes. Dating from the 17th century, the château has been our family home ever since then. It is set in seven hectares of beautiful parkland with century old palm trees and is luxuriously and elegantly furnished with fine period furniture with all the modern comforts you could wish for. The different rooms all have Louis XVI and Louis XV furniture and each bedroom is sumptuously decorated with a bathroom to match. Servigny breathes history, most recently when it bore witness to the signing of the treaty of Cherbourg, between US General Lawton Collins and German General von Schlieben, on June 26th 1944. The closest beaches are at Quinéville or Carteret, 17 kms and 20 kms from here and there are 9-hole, 18-hole and 27-hole golf courses at about the same distance. The Contentin coast and countryside is strikingly beautiful, an intricate network of hedgerows dotted with churches, where there are endless places to walk and cycle. The Abbaye de Lessay has been restored to its full beauty, bright, simple and harmoniously Romanesque. The Abbaye de Lucerne, complete with rooks, lies in the delightfully secluded Sienne valley. We recommend two restaurants in the village, a short walk from the château; The Moulin de la Halle, a creperie in an ancient mill, and La Forge d'Yvetôt, a creperie grill in the old forge in the village. Valognes, also known as Little Versailles, has two particularly fine 18th century buildings and a cider museum. The market is every Friday morning. Bricquebec, 10 minutes from Servigny has a market on Monday morning and also has a 12th century fortified castle with a very good restaurant at the foot. Within 20 minutes of Servigny are four very different areas and cultures. La Hague in the Northwest is a land of granite buildings and botanical gardens, much loved by the painters Millet and Prévert. The Val-de-Saire to the Northeast has attractive fishing ports like Barfleur and Saint-Vaast la Hougue. The Normandy Landings Beaches are to the Southeast; Sainte Mère l'Eglise and Utah Beach with their museums and memorials. To the South is unspoilt countryside, beautiful in Spring and full of wildlife. Château de Servigny (8 bedrooms,
