Our Commitment to a Vibrant, Sustainable, and Inclusive Estate
A Unique Place in Transformation
Since acquiring the estate in 2022, our vision has been clear: to transform this unique place into a space open to its region, combining
biodiversity preservation, heritage enhancement, and environmental education.
Spanning 135 hectares of
meadows, forests, ponds, and waterfalls, along with
a castle and numerous buildings, this estate represents
an exceptional natural and cultural heritage.
To understand, preserve, and bring it to life, we have undertaken significant research and diagnostic efforts.
In-Depth Knowledge of the Site
From our first steps on the estate, we sought to understand all its dimensions:
- Its natural heritage (meadows, forests, fauna, flora, water)
- Its built heritage (historic buildings, hydraulic systems, landscape elements)
We work hand in hand with
experts, study offices, companies, and associations to ensure a rigorous and respectful approach to the site.
Key Actions Already Undertaken or In Progress
- Naturalist Inventory:
The Conservatoire d’Espaces Naturels (CEN) has identified and mapped 9 types of meadows present on the estate. - Sustainable Forest Management:
With the help of a forest manager, we have developed a management plan for the next 15 years, ensuring the sustainability of the woodlands. - Protected Natural Reserve:
Hunting is strictly regulated, permitted only for scientific or regulatory purposes, to preserve ecosystem balance. - Partnership with the Groupement Ornithologique Normand (GONm):
This collaboration aims to better understand the bird populations present, adapt our management practices, and contribute to the area's naturalist knowledge. - Hydraulic Network Study:
The estate features 4 interconnected ponds linked by a complex network of canals, ditches, and masonry aqueducts. Water management is central to our project.
Built Heritage Under Scrutiny
We have launched a comprehensive architectural assessment, including:
- 3D laser and geometric surveys
- A health diagnosis of each building
These surveys enable us to better understand the site’s built history and prepare for its restoration with precision and respect.
Our Objectives
- Preserve biodiversity by respecting natural balances
- Raise public awareness of the richness of nature and environmental issues
- Enhance a rare heritage by creating a vibrant place where nature, culture, and history converge
This Is Just the Beginning…
This diagnostic phase is a key step in building our project to open the estate to the public. It lays the foundation for a sustainable future for the estate and its land.
