Hello, I’m Lian, the property manager of Château Le Vieil Étang. I’m originally from the UK, but I’ve called Normandy home for over 20 years. I know the region, its history, and its hidden gems like the back of my hand. My passion is helping guests discover authentic Normandy — from the D-Day landing beaches and museums, to the quiet charm of the forests, rivers, and villages that make this region so special. At Château Le Vieil Étang, my role is to make sure your stay is comfortable, relaxed, and memorable. I’m always happy to share local tips, recommend places to eat, and suggest activities tailored to your group — whether you’re here for history, nature, or simply to unwind. The château is rustic, full of character, and surrounded by nature. If you’re looking for something a little different — a private retreat away from the crowds, with original doors, staircases, and plenty of charm — this place is for you. I look forward to welcoming you to this special corner of Normandy.
