A big thank you to the owner of the Château de Nesles who welcomed us for our wedding reception. Impeccable, flowery gardens, magnificent and medieval rooms. Our wedding was in a timeless bubble in a place steeped in history. Mr. Daireaux, thank you for your kindness, your availability. You brought your stone to the most beautiful day of our life and we are enormously grateful to you! Future married? Don't hesitate, go for it!

Really a very nice little castle. A real nice surprise at the bend of a motorcycle ride.

Pleasant discovery. Too bad we didn't have anyone to tell us his story. Considering the price you can't ask for too much, it's really ridiculous.

Very nice little visit as we passed by the castle by chance. The welcome was very warm. Beautiful landscape, and beautiful reflection of different eras through architecture and interior decor.

La Hougue Bie

La Hougue Bie is a Neolithic ritual site which was in use around 3500 BC. Hougue is a Jèrriais/Norman language word meaning a \'mound\' and comes from the Old Norse word haugr. The site consists of 18.6m long passage chamber covered by a 12.2m high mound. The site was first excavated in 1925 by the Société Jersiaise. Fragments of twenty vase supports were found along with the scattered remains of at least eight individuals. Gravegoods, mostly pottery, were also present. At some time in the past, the site had evidently been entered and ransacked.

In Western Europe, it is one of the largest and best preserved passage graves and the most impressive and best preserved monument of Armorican Passage Grave group. Although they are termed \'passage graves\', they were ceremonial sites, whose function was more similar to churches or cathedrals, where burials were incidental.
