Château Bellenau is situated in the heart of the beautiful countryside, about 40 minutes from the port of Cherbourg near the East coast of la Manche, Normandy. set within 9 acres of unique 19th Century landscaped gardens. The apartment is in converted barns, some dating back to the 15th century, set around a courtyard adjacent to the château. The gite is a short drive from wonderful sandy beaches, and ideally placed for visiting the D-Day landing sites (Bellenau was the first Château to be liberated after the Utah beach landings). Possible day trips include Mont St. Michel, Paris by train from Carentan, medieval Bayeux, or the Channel Islands. The market town of Carentan is 5 minutes drive away, and has a good variety of shops, supermarkets, cafes and restaurants, as well as a vibrant market on Monday mornings. There are many fetes and fairs and bric-a-brac sales throughout the year, to give you a taste of local life. The Château is within the National Parc des Marais.

From 1717 to 1903, Château Bellenau was owned by the La Fosse family. Pierre-Etienne-Joseph La Fosse (Pierre V) born in 1828 at Saint Côme du Mont, had a dream in which he envisaged a splendid park behind his family home with rare trees, water gardens, islands, follies & grottos. Over a period of around 40 years using a workforce of 200, he succeeded in transforming the surrounding marshland into a unique environment. He introduced and acclimatised many rare and exotic foreign plants for the first time in the Cotentin region (famed for its micro-climates), many of which still flourish today as magnificent mature specimens. He designed a series of islands and waterways interlinked by bridges or accessible by boat. He planted trees and shrubs to form thickets or groves among which he created a myriad of winding paths to explore. The garden is still evolving to this day, published in local garden guides and maintained by an international team of gardeners.
Why is Lupain Holiday Rentals the only holiday rental company to verify the ownership of holiday accommodation? Research has shown that not all advertisers are genuine. There have been cases where people have booked holiday accommodation only to find out it does not exist.
This sort of ‘scam’ is hard to comprehend but these days fraudsters are coming up with ever more imaginative ways of obtaining money by deception from innocent people like you. We do not want holidaymakers who book with us to fall victim to this type of scheme. Money is mostly hard earned we know, so taking a holiday is usually a major expense. In addition, we do not want you to remember us for a shattered dream.
Therefore, in order to protect you we have introduced our Owner Verification Scheme. We ask all holiday home advertisers to submit proof that they own the property they are advertising. Only when we are satisfied that an advertiser and their property is genuine do we add our Green Shield to their property advert. Apart from being a deterrent, it also encourages advertisers to make sure they verify their property, giving you peace of mind when you make your booking.
If you want to make a booking look for the Green Shield on the top right of the property advert, if you do not see our Green Shield it may mean we have not yet completed the verification process. We normally complete this process within a few days if no verification is forthcoming the advert is removed.
We take this Owner Verification Scheme very seriously for your protection. If you have any doubts about the validity of an advert or misrepresentation please contact us with your concerns.
Please note, Lupain Holiday Rentals does not verify the advertisement content placed on this website by property owners, nor do we offer any guarantee as to the correctness of the advertising information placed on this website by third parties.
