Field given to the
beginning of XIe century by Rollon with the one of his/her companions
from which descend Harcourt. Cradle of this famous family and whose
Rieux, Tweed, Beauvau and Pitches continued the line during nine
centuries. Beautiful specimen of the medieval military architecture,
Harcourt preserved its strengthened enclosure overhanging of impressive
ditches, its farmyard, its châtelet and its high home seigneurial
arranged "with modern" at the end of the XVIIe century.
Harcourt is enchased today in a famous arboreturn of a thousand
of rare gasolines. Wooded park of 100 hectares. |
