This past weekend, May 29-31, the Domaine de Beaurepaire had the great pleasure of welcoming you for the regional "Pierres en Lumières" event.
From peaceful strolls in the
botanical garden and exclusive tours led by Claudine and Frédéric, to the wonder of seeing the
Château de Martinvast illuminated in a myriad of colors under the stars, this weekend was a resounding success.
We want to express our deepest gratitude to all the visitors who shared this experience with us. Your enthusiasm gives true meaning to our dedication to keeping this living heritage vibrant. Our thanks also go out to our talented musicians (Monsieur Niala and Blue Pulse), the "Club de l'Amitié" for the guided hikes, and our food truck partners who delighted our guests.
The "Épopée des Sens" continues. We look forward to seeing you very soon for new adventures blending nature and history, including the
Alcazar Festival later this summer!

The Château de Martinvast is preparing for a new metamorphosis. From
August 21 to 23, 2026, we will host the 3rd edition of the
Alcazar Festival, an event that has now found its home at the Domaine de Beaurepaire.
Faithful to our vision of a "living heritage," the festival offers a fascinating dialogue between architecture and contemporary digital arts. For one weekend, the imposing towers and French-style gardens will become the stage for video mapping, pyrotechnic shows, and high-quality musical performances.
Discovering the Estate during
Alcazar means experiencing a total sensory immersion, where every architectural detail is enhanced by light and sound.
This event is organized by the
Onde So Nord association.
The Château de Martinvast is a timeless stopover. Erected in the 17th century, it stands out with a unique silhouette that captivates visitors from the moment they arrive at the Estate.
Although the interior of the
Castel is not open to the public, its facades adorned with delicate sculptures and its imposing towers structure the landscape with a rare nobility. The monument was designed to engage in a dialogue with nature: it serves as a majestic backdrop to the vast French-style gardens that surround it.
Discovering the
Domaine de Beaurepaire means treating yourself to a sensory immersion in a heritage where every stone whispers a story, to be admired as you wander through the park.
"The forest is not meant to be told; it is meant to be felt."
On the occasion of
International Day of Forests, we are preparing for your arrival among the green giants that have watched over the Château de Martinvast for centuries. Much more than a simple woodland, our century-old park is a true invitation to disconnect in the heart of the Cotentin.
We are preparing for your visit so that
your future walks at the foot of these majestic trees become moments of pure rejuvenation. Coming to the Domaine means treating yourself to a parenthesis suspended in time to:
- Breathe the woody and earthy scents that rise after the rain.
- Listen to the symphony of nature, from the rustling of leaves to the singing of birds.
- Reconnect with what matters most during an immersive stroll through the heart of our wooded park.
Prepare to live your own sensory experience and let yourself be carried away by the serenity of our botanical heritage.
