The Château du Champ de Bataille is a magnificent 17th-century Baroque palace built between 1653 and 1665 by Alexandre de Créquy-Bernieulle during his exile from the French court. The name 'Field of Battle' commemorates a legendary 935 AD battle that helped unify Normandy. Since 1992, the estate has been owned by renowned French interior designer Jacques Garcia, who has painstakingly restored the château's sumptuous interiors in authentic Ancien Régime style, filling them with an extraordinary collection of royal furniture and art objects.

When Jacques Garcia purchased the estate in 1992, disaster struck the very next year when a devastating storm ravaged the park. Rather than being deterred, Garcia used this as an opportunity to completely transform the 45-hectare grounds, digging over one million cubic meters of earth and planting hundreds of trees to create what is now recognized as Europe's largest private garden.
