Staying at Château de Heuqueville: a self-catering gîte at a country château

Staying at Château de Heuqueville means renting a gîte on a historic estate rather than checking into a hotel. Expedia describes the listing as a seven-person gîte between Giverny and Rouen, and Wikipedia confirms that works made it possible to open the site as a gîte. The photos in the listing show bedrooms with a double bed and, in some cases, a fireplace, a desk and framed pictures on the walls.

The gîte has three bathrooms, with bath or shower, hairdryer, towels and toilet paper, and bed linen is provided. The kitchen has a hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, toaster and kettle, with cookware, crockery and cutlery, and there is a separate dining area with a dining table. A washing and drying facility, an iron with ironing board, central heating and free Wi-Fi complete the picture.

Outside there is a barbecue, and parking on site includes a garage. Breakfast can be added for an extra charge. Smoking is only allowed in designated areas, and the host asks smokers to put cigarette butts in a bin.

The history of Château de Heuqueville

The Wikipedia article describes the château of the 16th and 18th centuries as a main building of limestone and brick, framed by projecting wings. The walled courtyard is closed by gates and flanked on the street side by two pavilions, and a 17th-century well stands beside the main building. The dovecote, once in the courtyard, was rebuilt in 1771 near the château farm.

The grounds changed with the fashions. The courtyard holds an almond-shaped pond and the park side a crescent-shaped one, and the 18th-century French parterre was turned into an English landscape garden. The Napoleonic land register of 1830, shown here, also shows that the earlier mound (motte) fortress stood opposite the château, on the other side of the road.
