An exceptional coliving & coworking experience in Normandy I’ve been lucky enough to spend time at Château Coliving, and it’s honestly one of the most inspiring experiences I’ve ever had. The château itself is beautiful — thoughtfully restored, elegantly decorated, and surrounded by peaceful Normandy countryside. The rooms are bright, comfortable, and full of character, with everything you need to feel at home. But what makes this place extraordinary is the community. It’s a genuine family of kind, creative, and interesting people from all over the world. We shared dinners, afternoon teas, game nights (“Among Us” nights here are legendary), art sessions, skill shares, and hikes through the nearby countryside and along the coastline. The hosts also organize amazing day trips — to places like Bayeux, Étretat, Mont-Saint-Michel, Granville, and Dieppe — that make you fall even more in love with Normandy. If you’re looking for a place where you can focus, create, and feel instantly welcome, this is it. Château Coliving provides the perfect environment for productivity, friendship, and inspiration. I’ll always carry my time here in my heart. 💛

I spent a month living in the chateau, and what a magical month! Almost every review will probably say that, and there's a reason. I met the most amazing people, ate delicious food, lived like a king, and learned a lot of history. I will definitely return, and I highly recommend anybody considering staying here to do it.

I had a truly incredible month at Chateau Coliving in August 2025. I looked forward to it for months and really built it up in my imagination, so was a little worried it wouldn’t live up to expectations but in fact it exceeded them. The chateau itself is spacious but not huge - kind of perfect, small enough to feel cozy and familiar but big enough to be able to get space to yourself. One big concern was the kitchen - with 22 colivers I thought it would get slammed at meal times, but this rarely happened because people were on such different schedules. And I loved bumping into one or two friends when I wandered into the kitchen. Very easy and comfortable. The best thing about this experience is the thoughtful community management. The team did an amazing job at welcoming us and helping our group to gel authentically and quickly. By the end of the first week, we were all close and connected, which is remarkable. The facilities are a little worn and rustic, which was what I expected, but worth flagging if you’re expecting a five star resort experience! This is a homey place, which means lived-in furniture (many of which are antiques with tons of charm and character!) And I LOVED my room with shared bath. Felt super special. Altogether a really great experience; I’ll be back!

Ein schönes Schloss. Tolle Gegend. Allerdings nicht für Besucher einsehbar da es sich in Privat Besitz befindet :)

My company enjoyed a spectacular week here. My suite was glorious, with giant windows overlooking immaculate grounds, and a huge clawfoot tub. The work spaces were well equipped -- place of power, tables, and monitors for rent -- and the kitchen large enough for us to cook together. We even had a bonfire one night. A great place for a team retreat!

One word: MAGICAL! It’s hard to describe how special this place and the incredible team who run it are, and how dear the chateau is in my heart. Want to live like an aristocrat in a breathtaking historical castle on sprawling green grounds in the heart of Normandy, where you can daily stuff yourself with the finest (yet affordable!) cheeses and wine? Want a dedicated, hardworking team who truly cares about you running the place, who understand what it means to foster community on the daily? This place will deliver in spades. They take of everything, you just have to show up—from weekly group dinners and daily activities galore, to weekend outings exploring adorable medieval towns and rugged coastline, to excellent an coworking where I could get everything done that I needed to. I’ve visited twice now and would go back in a heartbeat. I’ve met people who will be lifelong friends and learned so much about myself here. Plus, if you’re a history lover, especially ww2, this property and the surrounding area is like a history tour come to life! I just love the chateau!

Best co live I’ve ever been to! Amazing place to unplug for a month. The hosts are incredible and the place itself has everything you need and more. Take a chance, go meet some strangers for a month that turn into family. It’s a special place- best way to see Normandy France for a month

It's hard to explain how special and magical the Chateau is. I've done several colivings - and always have more that I plan to do -but this one just takes the cake and I fear nothing will top it! If you're the type of person who wants to co-create a community, who wants to connect deeply with others, wants to slow down and experience something different than most folks will ever see in France, appreciates history, loves nature, and yes - are eager to wash your dishes and even the dishes of others - then the Chateau could be just the thing for you. Waking up in a centuries old castle, surrounded by an open-minded and loving community, heading down to the kitchen for your 15th cup of coffee, cozying up by the fire, eating your 45th wheel of brie ... this could all be available to you! Some of the many things that make the chateau amazing are: - INCREDIBLE community managers. Seriously, my stay would not have been the same without the truly remarkable Sarah, Alejandra, and Kevin. They infuse the magic and love into every day and I'm so grateful for them. - A shared starting date - everyone arrives on the same page, ready to create something beautiful together - Blazing fast Wifi in the coworking space - Thursday night community dinners - Sunday morning crepes!! - Teams to share the work of keeping the community spinning together - Great Slack communications and easy onboarding - Living in a place steeped in history, ancient and modern - A big TV to gather round for shared shows and movies - Twice weekly grocery pickup - Grounds that just shimmer with magic somehow (maybe it's the fog?!) I spent about 6 weeks at the Chateau and I could not have been more grateful for them. If you have the opportunity and want to create something unique and beautiful with others, I could not recommend it more. ❤️🏰✨

El Château Coliving es un remanso de paz y tranquilidad, ideal para trabajar sin estrés. Sus instalaciones son estupendas, y el equipo de trabajo es increíble. Socializar es fácil, ya que quienes eligen un coliving suelen ser personas sociables y abiertas, sin importar la edad. Nos encantó la experiencia y ya estamos deseando volver.

Terrible coworking experience. First of all, the house is extremely run down. It's drafty. My shower the first night didn't drain properly (and they knew it when they gave me the room). Internet not consistent, especially in the rooms. Not safe. There are no locks on the doors for any of the rooms by the way - I learned when a random guy "accidentally" walked into my room one night at 2AM. When I suggested that the staff add locks, they told me they deliberately removed the locks and I'd have to ask them why. When I never did - because I think any place where you are living with random strangers you should have locks - they thought I was overly hostile and too demanding of a place to stay. Your decision whether it's worthwhile to stay in a place with strangers without locks, anon. Also, there are rats. I found out when they took and then returned my gummies with tooth marks in them. This chateau was the local Nazi headquarters for the area in WWII. They left a swastika downstairs that has not been painted over (though there is a painting hung over it). Your decision about what that means, dear reader.

We're sorry the experience you had with the third-party group that had booked the castle at the time didn't go as you wished and that you were asked to leave the property before the end of your stay because of disrespectful behavior towards the team and other guests. This comment clearly comes from a place of disappointment and doesn't reflect the reality so many others have experienced. We'll only reply to your swastika point, as the castle has indeed been invaded by Nazis during WW2, and we've chosen to leave this historical artifact visible as it's an important part of the history of the region, but respectfully hidden behind a picture frame and only shown upon request during complimentary history tours. We won't accept the implication that we're in any way supportive of this ideology.

We were not allowed to walk the grounds without booking a stay (update: one entry was open without any signs, nothing on google maps indicates this to be more private than other castles. As a warning to others dropping by castles based on google maps, a review of 1 star is in order)

Très surprenant de voir un avis à ce sujet alors que le lieu est une propriété privée, qu'il y a un portail et qu'il y a indiqué "entrée interdite sauf livraisons"... Le lieu est privatisé et les loueurs vous ont poliment demandé de quitter les lieux malgré votre intrusion.

This is a truly wonderful place to stay – a stunning castle with beautiful rooms and dreamy shared spaces, but most importantly a real sense of community and friendship. My time there included hikes, bike rides, communal feasts, yoga, and even a murder mystery, while still managing to get my work done! This was my first coliving experience and I loved it. I'll definitely be trying more – including a return to the chateau before too long!

This is such an amazing place! From the historical building, to the scenic surroundings, and the awesome community, I thoroughly enjoyed my 6-weeks stay. Among all of the highlights, the most memorable was the sense of belonging. Staying in the Château was like spending holidays with good friends and was as far from a traditional hotel experience as I could dream of. Katia and Emmanuel are wonderful people. I feel like they understand the nomad lifestyle and needs better than anyone. I think they should run a school for other hosts starting their own colivings

The Chateau is magical! I’ve been a working and traveling for over 2 years now and I’ve had the chance to visit a lot of colivings. Chateau is probably the most special place I’ve been too. The area around is superb and it’s very easy to plan some nice day trips as well. I found myself very inspired there as the work flowed easily. thanks for hosting me and I will definitely be back as soon as possible 🥰
