Manoir Alex, with its enchanting castle-like appearance, embodies all the picturesque allure of Trouville. As you open the gate and meander through the charming fountains and meticulously tended flower beds, you'll feel transported to a fairy tale world.
Inside, you'll be captivated by the omnipresent azure of the ocean, which gracefully makes its presence felt in nearly every room. What connects Manoir Alex and the grandiose Paris Opera, a visionary masterpiece and a technical marvel of the 1870s? It's quite simple—their shared architect. Charles Garnier, who was appointed as the architect of the opera and bestowed his name upon the iconic Parisian institution, also designed the magnificent Manoir Alex. This Anglo-Norman gem, discreetly nestled by the sea in Villerville, offers breathtaking views over the sea and Deauville. Legend has it that even Guy de Maupassant had the privilege of admiring it during his stay at the manor.
As a delightful anecdote, you'll have the opportunity to play an aria from an opera or perhaps serenade with the melody of "La Romance de Paris" on Charles Trenet's piano, which takes pride of place in the living room. Manoir Alex is not just a residence; it's a living testament to artistry, history, and coastal beauty, where cherished memories are waiting to be made.
