Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Auxais Private Mansion located?
Auxais is an 18th-century private mansion (hôtel particulier) in the historic heart of Bayeux, Normandy. It is within walking distance of Bayeux Cathedral, the town's restaurants and shops, and the Bayeux Tapestry Museum (reopening November 2027).
How many guests can the property accommodate?
The mansion sleeps up to 7 guests in 3 bedrooms (one on the ground floor, two on the second floor), with around 2,700 sq ft (about 250 m²) of living space over three floors. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom.
How far is Auxais from the D-Day landing beaches?
The Normandy American Cemetery and Omaha Beach are about a 25-minute drive away. Bayeux is an ideal central base for exploring the D-Day sites, and Mont-Saint-Michel and the wider Normandy coast are easy day trips.
Is parking available at the property?
Yes. Guests can park privately within the mansion's gated courtyard, off the street — a rare convenience in the centre of Bayeux.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is from 4:00 pm and check-out is until 11:00 am. A concierge meets guests on arrival to hand over the property, so please coordinate your arrival time with the host in advance.
Is the mansion suitable for families with children?
Absolutely. Families and children are warmly welcome, and the generous space across three floors makes the mansion comfortable for families and groups travelling together.
What amenities and facilities are included?
The mansion offers a fully equipped kitchen with high-end appliances, a spacious living and dining area, laundry facilities (washer and dryer), fresh linens and towels, and a private garden and courtyard.
Is there Wi-Fi at the property?
Yes, high-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the mansion, so you can stay connected, work or stream during your stay.
Is there air conditioning?
The mansion does not have air conditioning, and it is rarely needed: as a historic building with thick stone walls, it naturally stays cool, and Normandy enjoys a mild, temperate climate.
Are pets allowed?
Pets are not permitted at the property.
Is smoking allowed?
Auxais is a non-smoking property.
Is there a minimum length of stay?
A minimum stay of 2 nights applies year-round, although longer minimum stays may be required during D-Day commemoration periods and in the low season.
Are additional services available during my stay?
Yes. Optional extras can be arranged, including a private chef dinner, shuttle service, daily cleaning and welcome flowers. Contact the host after booking to add these to your stay, subject to availability.
How do I book a stay at Auxais?
