“A grand and beautifully restored 18th-century chateau, steeped in history and full of charm and character. Traditional rooms feature marble fireplaces, antique furniture and parquet floors. The chateau is surrounded by sweeping landscaped gardens and small canals. A quintessential French rural stay.”
