Wake up from your 4 poster bed and
step out onto the terrace. Look out over the picturesque lake and the
fabulous vine covered adjoining valley.

The Château is
situated in a wine growing region, surrounded by woods and undulating
countryside. It sits on a hillside overlooking the valley.
The Château is Roman
in style, with turrets and parts dating back to the 15th Century. It
has good access from the main road, and is adequately stoned.

The main fortified courtyard is
entered though original wooden gates. The Château has a
feeling of tranquillity and privacy. It has breathtaking views over the
private lake and the adjoining valley.
The Château looks out
over the setting from a balustraded terrace. There are two further
tiered terraces leading down to the lake with excellent fishing facilities.
|
|
The main set of monumental steps
are reputed to have been used by Napoleon Bonaparte when he visited the
village of Haux.
These streps lead down the side
of the Château to the swimming pool (30mx8m) and sun terrace
with year round facilities.

The Château is centrally
heated in the winter months.
NB: Most walls throughout
the Château are 1 metre thick, so the Château does
not heat up substantially through the summer months.
