According to local lore, Marcel Proust visited many times, and Gustave Eiffel even designed a staircase by the orangery (sadly sold off in the 1980s). Tucked away inside a walled garden in the medieval village of Chalabre, this enchanting château offers a truly unique escape in a region rich with history and surrounded by outstanding natural beauty.

During the summer, the village comes alive with art exhibitions, live music, and local festivities. - 5 bedrooms - 3 king sized beds & 2 double beds - Fully equipped kitchen - 4 bathrooms - 3 walk in showers & 1 bath - Hammocks & lounge chairs House Rules - Check-in: from 4:00 PM | Check-out: by 11:00 AM - Smoking is not allowed inside the house - Pets are not allowed - Children not suitable for under 10s (babies are welcome) - Events: calm, retreat-style groups are welcome — please enquire for details
