Parc Du Chateau De Nacqueville (Lovely castle and park) is hidden in a coastal green valley located at the end of Cotentin peninsula in Normandy.

The Castle’s construction work began in 1510, with its granite walls and stone roofs; the castle is characteristic of the mansions of Cotentin. This 16th century castle is set in a beautiful English landscape park famous for its rhododendrons and azaleas.
