What a beautiful surprise for heritage enthusiasts: Laurence and Matthieu celebrated an escape in Normandy by discovering a true Norman gem. On July 5, the couple shared on Instagram images of their visit, confirming a rich and charming cultural discovery.
In short: Brigitte Macron sees her daughter enjoying a stay that combines beach and historical monuments, with a stop at the château de Bizy, an exhibition in Deauville, and a visit to La Roche-Guyon, witnesses to the influence of tourism and French culture.
Visit to the château de Bizy, a gem of the 18th century
On July 5, Laurence and Matthieu explored the château de Bizy, built in 1740 in a style inspired by Versailles. Successively owned by Louis XV, the Duke of Penthièvre, and Louis-Philippe, the estate retains Gobelins tapestries and a guéridon given by Napoleon I. This stop perfectly illustrates a heritage discovery that combines history and emotion.
An English-style park and an 18th-century decor
The walk in the park confirms the exceptional character of the site: century-old trees, ponds, fountains, and 18th-century statues provide a picturesque setting. After a beach break where the couple supported the Blues, this visit shows how heritage can be experienced simply, strolling between gardens and decorated salons, a perfect blend of relaxation and French culture.
Deauville, Beaumont-en-Auge, and an exhibition not to be missed
The Norman escape continued in Deauville, where Les Franciscaines host the exhibition by Raoul Dufy, “The Melody of Happiness,” before a stop in Beaumont-en-Auge, a village with a rich historical past. These stops highlight the appeal of the Norman coastline for cultural tourism and how a simple escape can transform a weekend into a true artistic immersion.
La Roche-Guyon: keep, gardens, and troglodytic charm
Leaving the coast, the couple visited the château de La Roche-Guyon, nestled against a chalk cliff, with rooms partially carved from the rock. The site offers a medieval keep, 18th-century stables, and a remarkable kitchen garden. This last stop proves that the discovery of Norman heritage can be found as much in architecture as in the surrounding nature.
