Come and experience history in a place where it was made.The year is 1907 and Etretat is a splendid part of the Belle Epoque scene.The great and the good have been here and are still very much present in the early years of the 20th century.The Saint Clair Estate- a member of HOTELS AND PREFERENCE- has retained the look and feel of this wonderful time and invites its present-day guests to step back into the Belle Epoque.You can stay in the Villa with its ten rooms- each dedicated to a different- prominent figure and decorated accordingly- down to the very last detail. Or in the Donjon whose eleven bedrooms were once used by many visitors- their presence recalled by memorabilia completing the tasteful decor.The grand old lady of the chateau was Camille de Saint-Phale- surrounded by her family ; a rich Parisian couple and their children- a retired doctor and army major- an actress- a dandy- a fun living Polish lady- a young American poet. She was often visited by her friends ; Loti- Proust- Monet and others that she will never forget ; Maupassant- Offenbach and Flaubert. LEH-Le Havre-19 mi NE
