About this house rental
Stay in an 18th century French castle Our castle dates from 1732. Having belonged to an alleged mistress of King Louis XIV, whose daughter Sophie was a close friend of the French writer and philosopher Denis Diderot, a prominent figure in the Age of Enlightenment, who stayed twice at the castle, it became much later the property from designer Karl Lagerfeld. Our property covers several hectares of parkland and forests. Access to the castle is via a stone bridge to cross the moat surrounding the castle. The pool area was created near the old castle farm and its dovecote. The property is located in Champagne, 10 minutes from Lac du Der. The first champagne producers are around 30 kilometers away.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the host Martine chef Denis, Sophie, and Stella who helped bring about the most amazing birthday celebration I could ever imagine. The setting of the château for my family and friends was like a real life fairytale! Thank you for helping to make, my dreams come true for a dreamy 50 birthday

Lovely home with plenty of large spaces for the family to congregate. We enjoyed the pool and the children enjoyed the trampoline. 16 total people and there was always a way to get some quiet if needed. Highly recommend

We all really enjoyed the time spend at the property. The organization was problem free. If i had any questions the property manager replied quickly and helped me with minor troubles like finding a taxi for a trip to a vineyard.
Thank you very much for the possibility to spend a weekend at this beautiful house.

Whatever you may think when you look at the photos, you will be more impressed when you arrive 😊 Martine is terrific – very welcoming, charming and really helpful - she answered the few queries we had by email very quickly & she is quite right to be very proud of their lovely house (we were very grateful for the lovely champagne in the fridge too!)
The Chateau is really nicely renovated and decorated, the outlook is amazing on to the park at the back and the rooms (upstairs & downstairs) are generally large comfortable and not over the top. It’s somewhere you can relax and not worry about breaking old furniture or antiques!
There were 10 of us in 2 families, so we used 6 bedrooms and the 5 bathrooms – some of the upstairs bedrooms ‘share’ en-suite bathrooms which are between the 2 rooms. For our families this was perfect, but don’t expect 8 bedrooms all to have a private en-suite. The downstairs bedroom has a separate bathroom.
The main bedroom is amazing, it has a large en-suite with sauna and whirlpool bath, so the ‘hot tub’ isn’t under the stars, it is a bath in a bathroom – I guess it would be a bit cozy for more than 4 people! This room also has a walk-in wardrobe & the sauna.
There are two dining rooms, it might be a challenge getting 16 around the main table, but for our 10 it was brilliant, we dined outside a couple of times.
The pool is really nice, it warmed up during the week – the peace and tranquillity from the pool were delightful, the only sounds were the church tower clock, frogs in the moat and the occasional flapping of wings as a heron took off! (or a Frech air force jet!) There are a couple of supermarkets a few miles away, so stocking up was easy (nothing in the village next door).
We were there for a relaxing family holiday, reading, eating, drinking, swimming, being together as families, playing badminton (we took our own) and cycling & walking around the grounds, it was perfect. We saw deer, a hare and heron in the park, plus dozens of frogs in the moat.
The Champagne trail is a few miles away and we spent a day going around the region which is delightful, but didn’t realise that nearly everywhere closed for the bank holiday. Wifi is OK and at 4 hours from Calais, travelling was really easy.
It's a very special place and we would love to go back - thank you Martine for letting us stay in your wonderfulChateau.
