Wonderful adventure
Such an atmospheric property, filled with echoes of its colourful past. This is not a hotel-like palace but rather a grande-dame of a chateau with all the attendant wrinkles and wear that actually feels like it's been lived in by real families for centuries. We loved the authenticity of the chateau and especially enjoyed prowling the rooms and grounds, the caves, the woods, and the secret garden, and what a treat it was to realize the chateau has an actual moat. There were also so many creative touches to enjoy all across the property like the mystery trail and the carriage collection and the giant chess set where our granddaughter trounced her father. We'd love to return one day to see how the ongoing restoration work has progressed and wish the de Laffon family the very best with their labour of love. Oh and the Host's Table was absolutely delicious.
