In the heart of Carrouges, a picturesque village in Normandy's Orne department, this property offers an unmatched opportunity for those seeking a blend of history, charm, and commercial potential. The village attracts over 30,000 visitors annually, drawn to its rich history, stunning architecture, and the nearby Château de Carrouges, a medieval gem. With an excellent location just a few steps from the castle, the property enjoys high foot traffic, making it ideal for a range of business ventures. Whether you're interested in reopening it as a bar-restaurant, creating a charming gîte or chambres d'hôtes, or even establishing a cultural or event space, this property is full of possibilities.
