Time has no hold on this beautiful 19thᵉ century manor house. Decades go by and the Manoir du Lys looks more modern than ever when you might have imagined it dozing off on the edge of the forest. The ideas, desires and projects that emanate from a close-knit family team ensure that this address in the heart of the Orne region never gets old.
Nestled between La Ferté-Macé and Domfront, the discreet little town of Bagnoles-de-l'Orne attracts no fewer than 10,000 visitors a month. Among them are spa-goers - the remarkably pure water is renowned for its soothing properties - walkers around the lake, created from scratch inces in 1611, gamblers who visit the casino, history buffs who visit the Château de La Roche-Bagnoles built in 1855 or the Belle Époque district and its sumptuous mansions bearing witness to Bagnoles' splendor at the beginning of the XXᵉ century. And then there are those who cross the town to spin English-style along the route de Juvigny before heading deep into the Andaine forest to La Croix Gautier, home to the Quinton family's Manoir du Lys.
