DESCRIPTION

|
|
|
|
This 13th century French Chateau in its elevated position gives
wonderful all round panoramic views of the L'Hermitaine valley.
The Chateau has a 12m x 6m swimming pool with Jacuzzi and is surrounded
by private 15 acre gardens and grounds, terraces and woodland
paths, leading down to a wild trout stream.
The holiday chateau offers a stylish and comfortable standard
of group accommodation for up to 16 guests, set in an idyllic
yet practical country location.
Situated in the heart of Deux-Sevres renowned for its traditional
French hospitality and events the Chateau is located just 45 minutes
from Poitiers and its airport, 20 minutes from Niort and about
an hours drive from La Rochelle and the Atlantic coast. It is
an ideal base for an endless list of possible activities for all
seasons. The A10 motorway (Paris-Bordeaux) is just 10 minutes

The chateau originally dates from the 13th Century and in 1689
was donated by Louis X1V to the family Devernou. It was rebuilt
