Château du Baffy
The Château du Baffy provides the perfect base for a tour of superb educational value and fascinating experiences.
This elegant, historic building has it all... proximity to the UK, a good standard of accommodation for schools and is set in a rich cultural environment, plus the Château’s two acres of parkland are perfect for encouraging healthy lifestyle activities!
School groups will enjoy the best of both worlds combining a stay in the beautiful Normandy countryside with superb beaches and interesting excursions close to hand.
The Château du Baffy lies on the edge of the small village of Colombiers-sur-Seulles, situated between Caen and Bayeux, just 6km or so from the seaside resort of Courseulles-sur-Mer (Juno beach in the Normandy landings of 1944).
