Nestled in the verdant heart of Normandy and just over an hour from Paris, Manoir Saint-Calais is a rare retreat where history and modern comfort meet. Originally commissioned in 1653 as a hunting lodge, this architectural gem has been lovingly preserved and reimagined, blending centuries of French heritage with thoughtful innovation. Recognized as a historic monument in 1996, the Manoir continues to carry its legacy forward while opening its doors to a new generation of guests.

In 2019, the estate began a new chapter under the care of Scotch-American Pamela Mullin, who modernized the property while honoring its authentic character. Building on that foundation, her family expanded the Manoir into a place of gathering and renewal, adding a pool, tennis court, sauna, massage room, and glass-walled gym. The result is more than just a destination; it is a welcoming refuge designed for creating memories, whether tranquil escapes or joyous celebrations.

Manoir Saint-Calais offers the perfect balance: a serene countryside sanctuary with easy access to the cultural treasures of Paris. Guests are invited to step into its storied past while writing their own chapter, discovering the timeless beauty of Normandy, savoring its peaceful landscapes, and experiencing a retreat that truly feels like home.
