Origin and history

The Réaux mansion is a 16th-century rural residence in Cambernon, in the Manche department of Normandy. This monument, partially inscribed in historical monuments since 1989, is distinguished by its body of rectangular houses flanked by two round towers opposite diagonally. It preserves a stone staircase with two straight flights and a deciphered wall, remains of a typical building of the era. Originally, the manor house had a stubble cover and rounded, now extinct, and remains of still visible enclosures.

According to the sources, this mansion would have "certainly" belonged to the royal estate, although this affiliation is not documented in detail. The building, now furnished with guest rooms, embodies a preserved example of Norman Renaissance civil architecture. The elements protected by the 1989 decree include facades (excluding anterior porch), roofs and interior staircases, highlighting its heritage interest.

The location of the mansion, at 5117 Les Réaux à Cambernon, is attested by the Merimée and Monumentum bases. Its state of conservation and its current use (tourist accommodation) make it an accessible site, while testifying to the rural and seigneurial history of Lower Normandy. The sources mention a location accuracy deemed "a priori satisfactory", with associated GPS coordinates.
