Reviews

  • Magnificent castle

    The castle and its gardens are magnificent. There were 140 of us at the meal and 200 at the reception and all the guests were delighted.
    A big thank you to Maguy who was always there and answered our questions quickly, from the reservation to the big day.

  • A magnificent venue that will leave your guests speechless

    We had visited several reception venues before settling on the Château. When we first entered the venue, we loved the stones of the large walls, the beautifully decorated entrance hall, the well-maintained and restored premises, the large hall, the upstairs room where we already imagined keeping the children occupied, and especially the magnificent French garden. Our wedding went perfectly there and we were very well received for the installation of our decoration, right up to the handing over of the keys on Sunday evening. We had a small problem with the curtain that hides the decoration of the venue from the guests (our reception was taking place in the garden) and the butler immediately found a solution so that our guests could join the cocktail party by going outside, to discover the garden in the best possible way.

    We also rented the cottages that go with the castle, overall they were comfortable, even if we regretted a lack of cleanliness (there were empty beer bottles left on one of the terraces for example).

    Overall we loved this place, our guests too... many of them still talk to us about it today with stars in their eyes!
