The house being rented is the gaurds house next to the road. The yard is fully enclosed and gated. Our family 16 and 19 year olds really enjoyed this property. They got their own rooms with friends. They played pickel ball. We walked to the bakery. We saw fawns in the morning by the castle. The castle is needing renovations to the point that it is condemned. In addition there is a river and a mout on the property. So your children either need to be closely supervised or old enough to make good choices to be safe. I highly recommend staying here as these funds go directly to helping perserve a wonderful piece of french history.I only wished that linens and towel fees were included in the listing. I have travelled enough to know that in france these basics are always extra up charges. There were coffee pods avaliable but no sugar or creamer.
