Valmont, Vaucottes et Yport


This is the Château de Valmont, originally built in the 12th century by the d'Estouteville family, descendants of Vikings. It is said that Robert Ier d'Estouteville faught alongside Guillaume le Conquérant against the English in the Battle of Hastings, and throughout the centuries various d'Estouteville descendants defended other Norman territories in danger of British attack.
