Gîtes d'Authie

Activities

What to do during your stay

Sporting and cultural activities around the cottage: between the peace of the estate and the sea air, walks in the château's park, beaches ten minutes away, seals in the bay, and the great resorts of the Côte d'Opale.

On the estate

Without leaving the grounds

Farmyard & kitchen garden

Chickens and ducks, a kitchen garden, topiary art, a 17th-century dovecote to discover along the paths.

Walks in the grounds

The château's wooded parkland, also listed as a Historic Monument, its century-old trees — a rare setting for a stroll first thing in the morning. A nearby path also makes for beautiful walks in the countryside or safe running.

Terrace & barbecue

Private terrace with garden furniture and gas barbecue, perfect for summer lunches and long evenings.

Evenings by the fireplace

The 55 m² living room and its stone fireplace: board games, reading and log fires out of season.

Outdoor games

Pétanque court, badminton and simple outdoor games (skittles, French quoits) available on the grounds.
