Château de Briquedalles stands at Sassetot-le-Mauconduit in the Pays de Caux, a short drive from the cliffs of the Alabaster Coast. According to Wikipedia the château dates from 1745 and has been a listed historic monument since 1988. Expedia lists one wing of it as a holiday home for families, with fireplaces, a full kitchen, a garden and tennis.
Staying at Château de Briquedalles means taking a wing of a historic country house rather than a hotel room. Expedia presents it as a château for families close to the sea. The living areas shown in the listing include a spacious sitting room with a fireplace and a separate dining area, and the bedrooms have fireplaces too. There are two bathrooms, with a bath and a shower.
The kitchen is fully equipped, with a hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, toaster, kettle and blender, plus cookware, crockery and cutlery. Practical extras include laundry facilities, a tumble dryer, an iron and ironing board, central heating and free Wi-Fi in all rooms. For evenings in, there is a TV with DVD player, a stereo and a shelf of books.
Outside you will find a garden with outdoor furniture and a barbecue, a children’s playground and tennis. Upper floors can only be reached by stairs, which is worth knowing if anyone in your party finds climbing difficult.
Wikipedia lists the château among the sights of Sassetot-le-Mauconduit as an 18th-century château. The name belongs to a group of Norman place names ending in “-dalle”, from the Old Norse word for valley, and the Fécamp article glosses Briquedalle as a steep valley. Wikimedia Commons files the building under the term “manoir”, while Wikipedia and Expedia both say château.
The Expedia listing describes the wing as a holiday home and says little about the historic interiors, so this page sticks to what Wikipedia states about the château.
The details below come from the Expedia listing (as of 14 Oct 2026) for this wing of the château.
The château lies at Sassetot-le-Mauconduit in the Seine-Maritime department, on the plateau of the Pays de Caux just inland from the Alabaster Coast. The village centre is just over 1 km away, the hamlet and beach of Les Petites Dalles about 3 km, and Fécamp, the nearest town, about 12 km as the crow flies. Expedia gives about 14 minutes by car to Fécamp station, and cafés and restaurants 4 to 11 minutes away by car.
Étretat’s famous cliffs are about 25 km away. Expedia highlights the beach of Étretat and the Palais Bénédictine among nearby sights, and names Cap Fagnet and Woody Park within about 15 km. Closer to home, the neighbouring Château de Sassetot, nicknamed the Sissi château, recalls the summer that Empress Elisabeth of Austria spent in the village in 1875.
