Best Village Castle Experience France
Time for a holiday in South France? Perhaps the need for an exciting new area to explore or a place to have freedom and tranquility and private bathing? Our reviews tell the story.
Nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees, lies the charming medieval bastide of Chalabre, one of the oldest villages in France, and one of the few growing villages in Occitanie. It has been beautifully rejuvenated, thanks to the care of the local council and their community pride.
Owned now by two Australians and a previous residence of nobility, the unique, luxuriously renovated Château Terre Blanche, Chalabre, known also as Chateau Chemin Vert, is open year-round for private or business rental,retreats and weddings.
The Château has four well-appointed oversized bedrooms in addition to a 2 bedroom suite, suitable in total for up to 16 people, all with lavish en-suite bathrooms, finished to the highest modern European standards. Living areas comprise the library, the Blue Salon, the Grand Salon with a Baroque hand-carved wooden fireplace, a gymnasium, and a dining room/Orangerie with a flowing south-facing outdoor terrace, perfect for alfresco dining in the summer. The highest standard, as recommended by Oliver’s Travels.
Exclusively secured by high stone walls and set in 2700m² of manicured lawn, parterre gardens with potential for fresh seasonal produce, an International Pétanque Court and a pristine 12 x 6m pool, this rental Château has all the privacy and lushness of a country estate, but the proximity allows guests to embrace French village life.
The Château also offers an impressive array of optional personalised services including au pair, chef and tour guides.
