Gravel path through the park at Domaine de Joinville

park & activities

A large park to explore

Eight hectares of lawns, woodland and paths at the heart of the estate — a short way from the sea.

The park is not a backdrop: it is what makes people stay. You walk it before breakfast, play on it in the afternoon, dine on it in summer. It is open to every guest, morning to evening.

Paths and woodland

Footpaths cross the park, from open lawns to shadier woodland. The loop takes a few dozen minutes, with no climb, and suits a morning walk as well as an after-dinner stroll.

In front of the château

The grounds around the château are planted with roses and borders tended all year. This is where wedding photographs are taken, and where people sit as the sun goes down.

The terrace over the park

In fine weather, service moves outside, facing the lawns. Breakfast, a drink at the end of the day or dinner: the view is the same, only the light changes.

What you can do

Croquet & lawn games

Everything is available: enough to fill an late afternoon without organising a thing.

Team games

A welcome for cycle tourists

A locked bike store, and long experience of cycling stopovers. The estate does not hire out bicycles.
