The chateau grounds extend to over 3 acres, planted with fruit trees and flowering shrubs. Visitors can relax on a bench in the shade of a walnut tree beside a bubbling spring. The open-air swimming pool is 14 metres long with a paddling pool set into the half-circle steps. Loungers and table and chairs are available for guest’s use. Bikes are also available on request but beware, the countryside is hilly!

Breakfast is served in the ‘Grande Salle’ on the first floor where sunshine filters through the stained glass windows. We serve a selection of cereals, fruit juice, warm bread and vienoisseries, and home made jam. The ‘Grande Salle’ is also a room to relax in. Comfy chairs, a well-stocked bookcase and board games are available for our guests’ use. On the ground floor, the ‘Voute’ is a vaulted room with exposed stones where guests can sample the local Gaillac wine. We serve our guests an ‘aperitif’ on the house on their first evening with us.

With two of our own, we particularly welcome young children and can provide cots, high chairs and other baby equipment. Swings, bikes, motorised ride-ons and sandpit ensure that our young visitors will have fun outdoors while a well-stocked toy box means that rainy days are covered too. As we seek to maintain a safe environment for our young visitors we regret that we cannot accept pets.

A kitchen area is available for guests’ use, equipped with sink, microwave oven, electric cooking rings, fridge, crockery and pots and pans. Parents of young children can warm bottles, feed toddlers or just make themselves a cup of tea or grab a cold beer when the need arises!
