The exterior and grandiose driveway as well as the surroundings are something to behold at this charming chateau just south of Paris. We loved our stay there, and had a room on the third floor with a lovely view of the front of the property. The hotel is run by a family that lives in the chateau full time, so there is a true B&B feel to the place, thus it is not really a hotel (no 24hr service of any kind, etc). The location is of course great, just outside of Paris and right at the edge of town so you can walk to go eat, which is what we did for dinner. The parking is free and has a huge lot off to the side, free of charge. Getting in the gate to the compound took some time for people to answer and open it however. The grounds are gorgeous and a treasure to walk around, especially in the early AM. We checked out so early that we woke up the manager and owner, but he was very nice. Sadly we only stayed one night, but it was definitely an experience...not for those who are over demanding. Again, it really is a B&B and you are left on your own for almost everything. There is a teeny tiny elevator that can barely fit one person and luggage so good luck transporting all your belongings. The bed was quite stiff and the room was rather cold, but we were in the attic and it had a rustic type feel that made it a true chateau experience. I would say it is much more appealing from the outside looking in than the opposite, but it was a very good price for what you get. Great for pics!
