Le Séran - Château d'Audrieu Fine-dining restaurant featuring Norman cuisine

At Château d’Audrieu, Chef Samuel Gaspar’s cuisine tells a story: that of a multifaceted Normandy. In the majestic setting of Le Séran restaurant, where historic salons give way to three ornately decorated dining rooms, you can savor bold and colorful local cuisine.

A proponent of locally sourced ingredients, Samuel Gaspar selects his products from within a 60-kilometer radius: Normandy AOC cheeses, farm-fresh butter, Calvados, and ice ciders—the region takes center stage. The estate’s vegetable garden infuses every plate with herbs and edible flowers boasting unique flavors. House-made vinegars and honey from the Château’s hives enhance this land-and-sea cuisine, imbued with a thoroughly contemporary elegance.

Your taste buds will be delighted, and the memory will last a lifetime.

A native of Orléans, Samuel Gaspar honed his skills at some of the finest establishments: from Fort de l’Océan in Le Croisic to La Scène in Paris, where he worked alongside Chef Stéphanie Lequellec; he then became sous-chef at Burgundy, followed by the legendary two-Michelin-starred restaurant Taillevent. A lover of ingredients and local terroir, he now expresses his art at Le Séran through vibrant, purposeful cuisine where flavors shine through.

A gastronomy rooted in heritage, producers, and passion.

"I firmly believe that creativity flourishes when we honor the riches of the terroir. Every season, every ingredient, is a new culinary world to explore."
