Hi, The chateau has 8 large bedrooms: 7 of the bedrooms have large double beds, one has a king size. the 8th bedroom has bunks and a king single. There are also 2 cots and a fold down single. 2 lounges that open onto each other that would seat about 18 outdoor furniture for about 25 people. Loads and loads of glasses and plates. The place is really well set up for big groups. enjoy! Suzy

glad I could help!

We had our car with us and it was great to be able to go see the sights. I don't think it would be essential to have a car however. The shops, bars and restaurants are all an easy walk. And the chateau itself is lovely and the grounds are immense! All surrounded by a high stone wall so it feels quite rural even though you are on the edge of a village. There is a bus stop in the village for getting further afield .. I believe it goes to xxxx e which is a must see. The owners can arrange airport or train station pick up and drop off if need be. When we go back in September we have decided to just stay put by the pool .. well that is the plan but I know in all likelihood we will end up doing daytrips because there is a lot to see .. the coast is very lovely! good luck and feel free to contact me if you would like to know anything more. Or feel free to email the owners. I dont want to post their actual email address here as it opens the door to spam but they have a hotmail address they use for such purposes .. removed Suzy

It maybe a lovely chateau but posting fake "we loved it" messages (See bondgirl's below) on this and previous posts (deleted) means you are not being totally honest to people. Sorry, I do not want it on the forum. The Administrator Hello, We rented a lovely chateau in France a few months ago and have stayed in touch with the owners. I was so impressed with the place, and the incredibly good value for money, that I have decided to spread the word! ... There is a huge heated swimming pool in the parklike grounds. All yours .. no other guests or caretakers around .. you have the whole place to yourself. I was super impressed with the decor .. original Impressionist paintings in one of the salons painted by a pupil of Monet no less!! Very chic .. red velvet .. Venetian chandeliers .. clawfoot bath .. antiques and statues .. gorgeous! We have booked to go back in September but I know there are still weeks available in July and August. The owners are also offering huge discounts for January, February and March. If you are interested in more information/photos please reply to my post and I will pass you onto the owners. 2 photos attached to this post. enjoy! Suzy

If you are interested in self-catering we stayed at this brilliant little chateau in France a few months ago. Very private you can just close the gates and know that your children wont escape! Lovely grounds and pool with easy wind out security cover. Red squirrels in the trees ( a real hit with my 4 year old!). Sandpit, lots of toys, kids vids .. it was great. If you want the contact details please reply and I will dig them out. It was not at all expensive either.

Hiya, am new to the forum. Just wanted to share a little find with everyone. Just got back from an amazing weekend in France - stayed in this absolutely adorable chateau near la Rochelle, 8 beds, totally funky, boho chic. Loved the heated pool and days spent at the coast. As we were leaving, the owners, a really lovely Kiwi couple, said that if we knew anyone who wanted to rent over half term, they had a two week cancellation - if anyone was interested they would probably go for a half price deal. Not sure if I can post their website here so pop me a message and I will pass you over to the owners. well worth the trip if you haven't already booked your half terms.
