Nestled in the verdant heart of Normandy, Manoir Saint-Calais has stood as a testament to French heritage since 1653, when it was commissioned by a local dignitary as a hunting lodge. The architectural gem was recognized as a historic monument in 1996. Over the centuries, the property has changed hands, and in 2019, the Manoir found a trusting guardian in Scotch-American Pamela Mullin. She undertook the modernization of the Manoir while preserving its authentic character. Building on this foundation of respect for history and innovation, her daughter and son-in-law embarked on a passionate reimagination of the estate in 2023.

Their vision was to awaken the sleeping soul of Saint-Calais, redesign its spaces, and create experiences that honor its past while embracing the future. The result is not simply a destination but a welcoming retreat that celebrates its heritage and invites a new generation of memories.

Having cherished Saint-Calais for over a decade, the family now offers guests the opportunity to write their own chapter in its storied history — whether seeking a tranquil retreat, celebrating life’s milestones, or discovering the timeless beauty of Normandy.
