    Château de Bénouville is a neoclassical building in Bénouville, Normandy, near Caen (northern France). It was designed by architect Claude Nicolas Ledoux and built between 1770 and 1780 for the marquis of Livry and his marquise Thérèse Bonne Gillain de Bénouville1. It is one of the best preserved works of Ledoux and a major monument of neoclassical architecture1. It is now a place of exhibition and cultural events.

    The château has a rich history, especially during World War II, when it was used as a maternity hospital and a resistance base by its director Léa Vion, who helped transmit information to the Allies4. The singer Gérard Lenorman was born there in 1945.

        The coastline is also worth a detour.
