General & History

Less than an hour from Paris by TGV, this is a chateau de luxe where you will be fabulously wined, dined and pampered by the resident staff, all included in the price. If self-catering is anathema, this is your perfect choice.

Once upon a time the chateau was the sensibly fortified hideaway for the reviled collector of the salt tax, who could retreat to safety behind his moat and peer nervously through the arrow slits in his round tower. However the chateau underwent a civilizing transformation in the 17th and 18th centuries, which, together with the present owner’s vision, have turned it into the relaxing, cheerful complex of buildings that greets the weary visitor today.

There are charming remnants of the old – oak parquet floors, working marble fireplaces, antique furniture generously scattered throughout - blended with the convenient appurtenances of life today.

There is a convenient village within walking distance.
