Live in Primard

Domaine de Primard, the elegance of an 18th century residence for a rare experience in a unique place.

A water house

Domaine de Primard extends over more than 30 hectares on both sides of the river Eure: its layout is representative of the pleasure estates of the Ancien Régime: it consists of a noble house, old agricultural buildings surrounding an orchard, a farm and a longère, a woodshed and a vegetable garden. Woods, meadows, and gardens are laid out all around. Built at the end of the 18th century, Primard is a perfect example of French-style orderliness and classicism.

The gardens surrounding the house highlight the layout of the buildings and integrate the surrounding nature.

But the specificity of the place lies above all in the omnipresence of water: whether it be the banks of the Eure River which runs for several kilometres along the Domaine, the moat in which the House is reflected, the pond hosting wild birds, or the small stream meandering from east to west through the gardens. From the Château's adjoining halls, this impression is even more striking: wherever you look, the water sparkles.

Primard takes the shape of an island.

The French way of life

In Primard, the hectic pace of everyday life fades away, time slows down and everyone finally gets to enjoy life, the real thing. More than a destination, Primard is a world in itself. It is a journey, a home, a retreat, a refuge.

Nature

Nature, whether wild, mastered, or even domesticated, is essential to understanding the site because Primard is above all a garden. Its richness comes from its diversity: from the plains where horses frolic to the rich composition of its boxwood patches populated with old rose bushes. The project carried out by Jacques Wirtz is unique and exceptional. For more than 30 years, the garden has been embellished each year by the addition of tree species with magnificent autumn colours that make up a rare arboretum, a collection of flowering shrubs, and a fascinating rose garden with over 250 different varieties.

The presence of animals in semi-liberty, together with the magnificent spectacle of wild animals that regularly cross the estate, enliven the paths and canals, creating a living and constantly changing landscape.
