An 18th Century Mansion House And Its Garden, Both Listed As French Historic Monuments, In The

An 18th century mansion house and its garden, both listed as French Historic monuments, in the so-called “Little Norman Versailles” on the Cotentin Peninsula. Administrative capital of the Cotentin Peninsula from the Middle-Ages through to the 18th century, Valognes is a royal town and an important legal centre. As of the reign of Louis XIV, the flourishing town saw the construction of a large number of mansion houses, of which about forty or so still exist today. The “Hôtel Dorléans” stands slightly set back off a square, on the corner of a street. On the side, a large gateway, decorated with protruding quoins, opens into a paved courtyard that borders the rear facade and a stairway tower. Two stairways provide access to a garden laid out on a higher level than the house. A double garage can be reached via an adjacent street.
