Thirteen of us came to this wonderful Chateau on a sentimental journey to visit our French relatives, many of whom we had never met! The Chateau was the perfect setting for 4 days of relaxing, exploring and eating and drinking wonderful local produce! The children have taken hide and seek to a new level (hiding & jumping out from alcoves & nooks & crannies was also a great favorite of the grown-ups..) Moms & Dads preferred sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine taking in the breathtaking scenery. We will miss the midnight film show in the most comfortable cinema in France. Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to spend a few days in a piece of living French history.

This Chateau is a once in a lifetime experience. As the final day approaches, we wish we had more time in the Chateau and the region. We loved exploring the site and the surrounding areas, seeing the people's way of life and learning about their history and culture. Our lives have been enriched by this experience and the memories of this family event will be with us always thanks to the patriarch of this family. The property manager was attentive and helpful and had many ideas to share with us.

What a great trip! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. My family truly enjoyed our stay, from our dungeon disco party, fantastic meals, to the invasion of the game room. Many great memories formed that we will never forget. On the next note, the property manager was phenomenal. A wonderful hostess that was patient with my insane family. Thank you again and we hope to get back again.
