A short distance from ecotours, rafting, and more, this family-friendly castle lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 14-minute drive to Basilique du Sacre-Coeur or the 14-minute drive to Sanctuaires of Paray-le-Monial (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 6458-sq-ft castle, you can unwind by the pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at foosball and billiards, or enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and DVD player.

This 9-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom rental features a dining area, a BBQ grill, a desk, and concierge services. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.
