About Bizy Castle
Known as the "Versailles of Normandy," Château de Bizy is a magnificent 18th-century classical estate built in 1740 and inspired by the grandeur of Versailles. The château has an illustrious history, having been owned by the Duke of Belle-Isle (grandson of Nicolas Fouquet), King Louis XV, the Duke of Penthièvre, and King Louis-Philippe. Visitors can explore richly decorated drawing rooms featuring exquisite Louis XIV-era carved wood paneling, Gobelins tapestries, and fascinating Bonaparte family memorabilia including a marquetry table gifted by Napoleon I.

The original Chateau de Bizy was so extravagant that when the Duke of Belle-Isle hosted King Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour in September 1749, the estate's hydraulic fountains and gardens rivaled those of Versailles itself. Unfortunately, after the French Revolution, the chateau was confiscated and sold stone by stone as national property, leaving only the magnificent stables standing - the very stables that visitors see today were the only structures spared from complete destruction.
