A holiday staying in a luxury French chateau represents an archetypal, traditional ideal of France and things French and takes you on a journey through the history of France. A turreted, mediaeval chateau in an imposing, hill-top location conjures up the romanticism of bygone eras but today a chateau-hotel is synonymous with a luxurious and elegant holiday experience, with fine wine and gourmet food, sumptuous surroundings, noble vistas and attentive service. The chateau-hotels we offer as part of our French holiday portfolio range from 13th century, mediaeval fortresses with towers and moats set amid rolling countryside and vineyards, to Renaissance buildings surrounded by formal and kitchen gardens and elegant mansions dating from the reign of Louis XIV. The luxury chateau-hotels we work with have been renovated to supremely high standards, retaining period features and their traditional style. Many are situated in blissful countryside and rural locations, where you can relax and explore during your stay. Our French chateau-hotel holidays can be organised as long, leisurely, single-centre stays or as part of a bespoke, touring holiday, combining hotels within a region or more than one region of France. Depending on the location, you can travel by air, with or without a hire-car, by rail, with or without a hire-car or take your own car to France with a Channel crossing included.
