Domaine de Poulaines

The Poulaines estate, an endearing, natural and refined place

Nestled in the heart of a 25-hectare wooded park, the Domaine de Poulaines, a stately home recorded as early as 1340, is distinguished by its sumptuous gardens and arboretum. Surrounding a Renaissance manor house and its outbuildings, majestic trees and century-old boxwood invite you to contemplate.

For over 30 years, we have been revitalizing this exceptional site by renovating the buildings and creating 5 hectares of themed gardens, inspired by plants and descriptions from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Our gardens have been awarded the “Jardin Remarquable” label by the Ministry of Culture.

By staying at the Domaine, you are contributing to its preservation and development. Thank you very much!
