Domaine de la Baronnie

 

The town where I teach my English class in the evenings, Douvres-la Délivrande,                                    has this three-hectare parc with some restored 14th and 15th century buildings.                                            I had some time to kill and went for a gander.   

      

   It was a manor house of the Bishop at one time, rented to farmers, was French National property during the French Revolution and now belongs to the town and is a National Monument.                                

     You can also rent it out for weddings...swanky.

The garden and playground with "the Little Library"                                                                               where I found this gem of a book. 

Hodgepodge of beautiful doors and windows...

Here's the detail of the above door....

The entrance gate dates back to the 15 th century

The stable.....

This nice little entrance gate and house are are just across the road from the Baronnie,
