About Chateau de Bizy

Add to favorites

Located in Vernon, the Château de Bizy is a royal residence with a prestigious history linked to figures like the Dukes of Belle-Isle and King Louis-Philippe. Often called "Normandy's Little Versailles," the estate is famous for its monumental 18th-century stables, inspired by those of Versailles and Chantilly. The castle itself, largely rebuilt in the 19th century, features refined interiors with Directoire-style woodwork and fascinating memorabilia from the Bonaparte family. The castle's park is a serene haven, renowned for its baroque fountains and historic water features. As you walk through the classical gardens, you will find intricate fountains, ancient trees, and perfectly manicured paths that highlight the grandeur of the estate. Blending architectural rigor with romantic landscapes, Bizy is a sophisticated cultural stop on the road between Paris and Rouen, located just moments away from Claude Monet’s world-famous house in Giverny.

Tip for an even more exceptional visit.

You should pay close attention to the stables upon your arrival, as their architecture is among the best preserved in France for this type of building. You will likely enjoy the tranquility of the water gardens; we suggest taking the guided tour to access the private salons, where stories of King Louis-Philippe bring the history of the house to life. You could perfectly combine this visit with a trip to Giverny, located just five kilometers away, for a full day dedicated to art and history. Finally, you will love wandering beneath the canopy of the park's ancient trees, a perfect spot for a relaxing walk away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
