Chateau de la Barre
72120 CONFLANS-SUR-ANILLE
Opened all the year

Description

Set in 100 acres of meadows and woods, this elegant Chateau less than 2 hours from Paris, which has been in the family for six centuries, has its own 16th century dry moat fortifications, chapel, flower gardens, fountains and pond. The Comte and Comtesse, Guy and Marnie de Vanssay will immediately make you feel at home as you join them for drinks in the 18th century Grand Salon with boiseries and ornate chandeliers. Candlelit dinner is served in the Grand Dining Room with its massive burnished dresser and exquisite china collection. Then move on to brandy and coffee in the Salon Rose under ancestral portraits or in the 'Piece à Feu' in front of the huge 14th century fireplace where a game of billiards can be enjoyed. Five magnificent and unashamedly luxurious en suite guest rooms are gilded with sumptuous fabrics and fine antiques, without compromising on contemporary comforts! Every heirloom tells story, which your hosts will be happy to share.

Strong point: Exlusive Rental of an entire Chateau near the Loire Valley, France: 5 days minimum rental, 10 to 18 people, from 9500 euros.
