Unexpected castles to unpack your bags for the holidays

Who has never dreamed of living the life of a castle? To explore its various wings and lose oneself in its expansive parks? A fantasy for the young – as well as for the older ones – nourished by the wonderful imagination that books and cinema lend to them. That’s precisely why castles draw us in, along with the excellent services some of them now offer to visitors.

Because yes, castle owners are modernizing their properties while preserving their historical charm. From private chefs and luxury concierge services to on-demand massages, they offer meticulously tailored services in settings that blend different styles. Like at Château de La Bourlie where medieval vaults blend with contemporary artworks, or at Château Leboscq with its wall frescoes influenced by both urban and classical pictorial styles. Remnants of heritage that, we promise you, will not fail to surprise you.
