Absolute stunner! The chateau is absolute luxury and everything you expect when looking for a castle experience. The property is next level - the gardens are superb, the dahlias are so beautiful and the upkeep on the whole place is top notch. The staff are wonderful - we had wonderful interactions with so many staff, especially Philipe! Everyone was so gracious and ready for a laugh, it made us feel at home. Food options are good (a lot of fresh produce), and Montlouis area is stunning to walk around. This is an incredible experience all round, highly recommend for anyone looking for a castle stay in France - especially because it is close to Patis by train or car.
