Spa La Ferme de Bien-Être

La Ferme Saint-Siméon, a fully restored 17th-century Normandy farm, was used extensively by the Impressionist painters who were smitten by its shifting skies, rapidly changing light, and wild coastlines. Drawing on its unique heritage, the property invites guests to immerse themselves in their world. 

Guests can stay in Monet’s bedroom or the room that once formed Corot's workshop, pass time in the gardens watching the light on the Seine estuary, have lunch in the Boucane restaurant (housed in the historic thatched-roof building painted by Monet in his painting “La charette. Route sous la neige à Honfleur”) or step into the shoes of a painter by taking an art class. Nearby walks enable them to discover the area's hidden corners. They can set off on foot from the hotel to explore the ancient port of Honfleur, discovering its artists and sailors. And a short car trip will allow them to gaze at Étretat’s cliffs, just as the Impressionists themselves once did.

Once a refuge for impressionist painters, La Ferme Saint-Siméon is celebrated for its bucolic surroundings and beautiful Seine estuary light. Monet and Courbet would come here and work on their colours, and Baudelaire would flee the melancholy of Paris in search of inspiration. The farm, close to the old harbour of Honfleur and the Eugène-Boudin Museum, has now been restored throughout and provides relaxing treatments based on organic ingredients such as milk and Normandy apples. “Oh, Saint-Siméon”, exclaimed the painter Eugène Boudin in one of his journals. Indeed it is hard not to love the place, and even harder to leave it behind.

"To relive the history of Ferme Saint Siméon formerly the Auberge de la Mère Toutain and the birthplace of Impressionism, we offer our guests the possibility of becoming a painter during their stay here.
Sit in the gardens overlooking the river Seine for a 2-hour painting class, and sleep in the former studio of Corot and or Monet's room.
An ideal holiday location for connoisseurs in search of culture and history."

In the footsteps of the Impressionists

To take full advantage of the property's idyllic environment and the rich heritage of the region, there is nothing more magical than a horse-drawn carriage ride. It's an opportunity to reconnect with nature while being enchanted by the relaxing pace of the horses and the soothing sound of their hooves on the cobblestones. You will thus get to know the two magnificent Percheron draft horses led by master horseman Benoît Farain — French carriage driving champion in 2019 — as you set off on a ride to Honfleur, a few hours’ jaunt to discover the region's most beautiful landscapes, or even during an entire day within the Pays d'Auge. Unforgettable experiences beyond any doubt.
