Château du Gué aux Biches

A typical Belle Époque house in the heart of Normandy

Only 1 km from the spa town of Bagnoles-de-l’Orne, the Château du Gué aux Biches is beautifully situated on a hill in a private natural park of 13 hectares. If you are looking for peace and quiet, our castle surrounded by the Andaines Forest and in the heart of the Normandy-Maine Regional Nature Park, will delight you.

Søren and Klaus warmly open the doors of their house full of history, where famous authors such as Paul Féval and Alexandre Dumas have lived. The new owners wanted to create a unique and friendly place where they are now looking forward to welcoming you. The 3 rooms and 2 suites that make up the château have been completely restored and refurbished.

To combine the experience of staying at the chateau with exploring the region, Søren and Klaus are happy to lend you bicycles to visit the town and the surrounding area.
