Seine & Sea: Property Management in Normandy

Excellence in Estate Stewardship for International Homeowners

Owning a home in France shouldn’t be a headache. We handle the language, the local workers, and the red tape, so you can simply arrive and enjoy your stay.

About Us

An American Heart, a Norman Home, and a Passion for Heritage

After Ilse moved from the United States to join Kenny in his native France, we spent years exploring every hidden corner of Normandy, falling in love with the historic stone manors and timeless landscapes. However, we soon noticed the stress international owners face when dealing with language barriers and local logistics from afar.

Ilse founded Seine & Sea to be that bridge. By combining American standards of high-touch service with deep-rooted French expertise, we ensure your property is protected and your arrival is always seamless.

We are your dedicated partners on the ground, caring for your home as if it were our own. We are your eyes and ears in Normandy.
