L’Hostellerie du Chateau
Cours du Chateau Interieur des Remparts, Bricquebec 50260

Chateau Les Bruyeres
Route du Cadran, Cambremer 14 340

Built in 1816 on the site of much earlier manor, Chateau Les Bruyeres passed through several hands during its early years.

It was during the ownership period of the Petit family that the Chateau accommodated arguably its most famous guest, Marcel Proust. Indeed, so taken with the location was the author that he chose to immortalise it in the novel Within a Budding Grove (A l’Ombre des Jeunes Filles en Fleur) published in 1919.


This is a genuine medieval castle standing a mere half-hour’s drive from Cherbourg in the Cotentin peninsular. Built in the 11th Century, the building has seen more than its fair share of Anglo-French historic rivalry and was once owned by Robert Bertrand who fought with William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings.

Medieval connections and romance aside, the hotel has played host to both
Queen Victoria and Field Marshall Montgomery.
