Chateau De La Ballue
Set on the border between Normandy & Brittany, 20km south of Mont-Saint-Michel, in a uniquely preserved agricultural landscape of rolling hills, forests and wild, unspoilt coastal scenery, this listed 17thC castle is most famous for its gardens.
It is an historic house in tune with today's tastes, a retreat for many artists and writers. It is a glorious base from which to enjoy this unspoilt region's contryside, coast and charming towns such as Dinan, Dinard, Cancale, Combourg, Fougères and Saint-Malo. Marie-Françoise and her family will welcome you in their elegant home.

The Gardens of La Ballue
The remarkable chateau's mannerist gardens, listed historical monument, with pillars of yew, topiary twists and swirls and a labyrinth are agremented with sculptures carefully palced throughout the grounds.
From the hanging gardens an extraordinary view on the bocage, stretching out over small valleys haloed in the characteristic blues reminiscent of paintings by the Dutch primitives. The gardens present 13 surprises for the visitor, a series of theatrical gardens in the baroque or mannerist style of the sixteenth centuries. These includes a fernery, a water trap, a scented chamber, an open air theatre, a temple of Diana, a maze and many other delights.
