You'll find a kayak, bicycles, and more on site at this welcoming castle. Jump into your car and make short work of the 18-minute drive to Château Lardy or the 22-minute drive to Château de Montaigne (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax by the heated pool or sip a drink in the garden of this castle, which also features outdoor furniture and a BBQ grill. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at table tennis and billiards, or enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, and stereo.
