Nicolas & Audrey

Your hosts at the Haras du Vieux Château

Welcome to our home

We opened the doors of the Haras du Vieux Château with a single ambition: to share this exceptional place with guests who, like us, appreciate beautiful things, the Norman countryside and timeless moments.

Nicolas

Nicolas

A passionate classic car enthusiast and home automation fan, Nicolas spent 5 years in event management at major trade shows, then 20 years as an IT Director. A man who thrives on challenges, he now competes in circuit acceleration events.

Norman at heart, Nicolas has deep roots in this region — his mother was born in Isigny-sur-Mer, just a few kilometres from the estate. This intimate knowledge of the land allows him to guide you to the best spots, well off the beaten track.

A passionate collector, Nicolas is always delighted to welcome travellers arriving in classic vehicles — a shared passion that often leads to the best conversations!

It is this same energy and attention to detail that he brings to the estate — ensuring every stay is a carefully crafted experience, from the Wi-Fi to the swimming pool.

Audrey

Audrey

After 10 years in the fashion world at COS, Audrey retrained as a structural draughtsperson in the metalwork industry, where she has worked for the past 10 years. This dual culture — aesthetic and technical — shows in every corner of the estate.

Of Flemish origin, Audrey speaks Flemish and carries within her a northern culture that blends a warm welcome, a love of quality craftsmanship and a respect for traditions. A precious asset when it comes to hosting our Belgian and Dutch guests in their own language!

A natural DIY enthusiast with a professional dressmaking qualification, she brings that warm, handcrafted touch that makes all the difference in the welcome and décor of the cottages.

A family, a project

Parents of two children, we chose Normandy and this exceptional estate to build something unique — a place to live, share and discover, open to those who seek authenticity.

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing our favourite spots: the Cotentin marshes, the Baie des Veys, the bocage lanes… and of course, the treasures of the estate itself.

See you soon at the Haras du Vieux Château
