The Fieffe Manor House, in the heart of Normandy changed hands in Spring 2012. Emmanuel de La Fonchais and Michel Niciejewski have combined their talents to make this mansion a haven of serenity and its garden a meeting place for botanical discovery lovers .

Before settling , Emmanuel ran a rare plant nursery between Rouen and Dieppe especially renowned for its huge range of hydrangeas. His passion for plants leads him today to North Cotentin, an area favourable to the creation of the botanical garden of his dreams.
The mildness of the climate close to the one in the Anglo Norman islands allows him to contemplate adapting plants rarely grown in France. In a few years the 4 hectares will shelter a magnificent arboretum which will be an additional appeal for this place.

After working a great number of years for members of Parliament ( Parliament assistant and cabinet director ), Michel has decided to give free rein to his taste for this beauthiful house and the thoughtful welcome of his guests . Besides creating this activity in a manor house older than 450 years satisfies his passion for history and his new one for antiques .
