Absolutely amazing

Absolutely incredible! I simply don't have a single complaint. We only stayed one night. If you're on the fence about booking, do it. You won't regret it. Alice was wonderful and very attentive.

What talent!

Carole's food!!!! What talent. An artist in many ways. Dinner with her will be the highlight of any traveller's stay in France. Perhaps the best meal I've ever had in my entire life.

Beautifully restored

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house. It is a 17th-century château, beautifully restored by the owners to remain faithful to the spirit of the period. Everything has been tastefully done to recreate the atmosphere of yesteryear, while offering modern comforts. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and you feel right at home. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Bravo to the cook

(…) The dinner was delicious! The unique thing about it is that you don't find out what you're eating until the end! (Don't worry: you are asked in advance about any allergies or dislikes). The dishes are seasonal and very well prepared. Wonderful discoveries, well done to the chef! Breakfast is also in keeping with the location: everything is homemade, including the pastries, bread, yoghurts, seasonal fruit salad, freshly squeezed orange juice, etc. The site is stunning and the guided tour by the owner is enriching. A timeless stopover or break!

Culinary creativity

An unforgettable moment in an incredible setting. Chef Carole knows how to strike the right note with every dish. Everything is homemade. While waiting for the gourmet restaurant to open, you have to stay overnight to enjoy the culinary creativity, and the rooms are on a par with the food and hospitality.

Really amazing

I used to come here often when I was a child and teenager, and it's truly incredible. Seeing these new photos and videos, I must say that the new owner has done an amazing job.
If I'm ever in the area, I'd love to go back!

A dream come true

A bed and breakfast? No! A dream come true: you are transported back in time. The remarkable décor and tasteful furnishings transport you to the 17th century. You expect to hear the sound of a carriage, the neighing of horses, the barking of dogs waiting to take you on a tour of the wonderful grounds surrounding the magnificent castle. The table is in keeping with the setting. Once you've experienced it, you'll want to come back. An unforgettable night or weekend will leave you longing to return.

An excellent stay

We had an excellent stay at Édouard and Alice's castle. You can tell that they love having guests and that they don't do things by halves, whether it's cleanliness, meals, the surroundings or quantity. I highly recommend it if you want to immerse yourself in a castle and enjoy royal tranquillity.
