A room, yes, but not only a room...

 

Here you will find our favourites….. An old church converted into a very comfortable hotel, where the architectural details are much in evidence, a cavalier’s room from the Middle Ages, a bed in an aquarium, a bedroom in a castle. Yes these are the hotels we suggest, and much more. You can also share with us your special addresses and comments.

 

 

 

 

LIFE in THE CHATEAU VERRIERES in SAUMUR

Château de Verrières - M. et Mme Auger - 53 rue d’Alsace - 49400 Saumur- France –

Tel 33 (0)2 41 38 05 15 – Fax 33 (0)2 41 38 18 18

 

The life in a chateau in Saumur. A wonderful experience, a family dwelling in a small castle among two hectares with some remarkable one hundred year old trees.
The hotel: Chateau de Verrières, offers you 10 elegant rooms all differently decorated with charm.
It is the domain of Yolaine and Thierry who invite you for the night, week or perhaps you will decide to stay in Saumur. The chateau is close to the town so the car can be dispensed with.

Le Mas AZEMAR à Mercués - CAHORS - LOT

Sabine et Claude Patrolin

Mas Azemar - Le Mas Azémar, rue du Mas de Vinssou 46090 MERCUES tél: 06 10 41 12 43

 

A haven of peace and gourmet pleasure; Sabine and Claude wanted to live in a different manner.
Firstly to recreate a family home in an ancient priory at the foot of the Chateau de Mercues, just a few kilometres from Cahors.
Blending family and recent acquisitions (with help from an antiques expert in the area), they have furnished it with taste while keeping in the style of the region. Some beautiful object decorate the rooms, the yellow salon, the dinning room, the kitchen with superb open fire and fishing rods, vases, engravings (Claude is a collector), simple objects, useful objects, ancient objects each with their story, history and their mystery…….
