Accommodation
DOMAINE DE PRIMARD
The Tour is based at the Domaine de Primard, an 18th-century chateau on a river’s edge in Normandy. Former home to actress Catherine Deneuve, Primard is now a five-star hotel set on landscaped grounds with plenty of space for us to wander and enjoy.
Each client will have their own room with ensuite bathroom. We also have our own private salon, for those quiet moments at the end of the day, when you want to sit and chat before going back to your room. The iconic greenhouse will be available for our floral workshops, accompanied for sure by a glass of wine!
Before and after the tour, we suggest you stay at a hotel in Paris. Preferably in the 6th arrondissement. If you choose to take part in the additional antique buying day with Sharon on 30th September, you will be collected from your hotel early that morning.
