Choose your French holiday hotel

 

Because the weather in Belgium is not fabulous at all the last days, I was skimming through some holiday resort magazines this weekend ! I started dreaming about spending my holidays in one of the many beautiful and charming “escapades” I came across in the Maisons Coté Sud/Est/Ouest (edition June 2010). So if the weather in Belgium remains bad, we will not hesitate to pack our bags…!

I couldn’t resist to post about a few of them. The hotels -and even a wonderful camping!- are all situated throughout France.

Of each hotel I post here today, I will show you only 3 pictures, to arouse your curiosity!!!  Two pictures of the exterior or the environment and one picture of a bedroom.

For more information and images you can visit the website of the particular hotel by clicking on the name of the hotel ABOVE the belonging pictures!

A French Château

Domaine de Château Blanc, near Avignon in Provence, is for sale!


It is a Renaissance château with numerous outbuildings (guest houses, staff houses, stables, a barn, a garage) on an island in the Rhône River.


The Château and the five other houses count 17 bedrooms!


The domaine is a 100 hectare estate facing the Papal city of Avignon!


Anyone interested?!

The illuminated entrance.

Coat of arms of the Seigneur de Fogasses.

François de Fogasses built the fortifications of Château Blanc in 1573 to the strict specifications of Charles IX, King of France.

It is remarkable to find a Renaissance château, almost 400 years old, in such a good condition and so little changed from its original construction.

Built in the style of an Italian villa, the château benefits from large and numerous openings that permit the celebrated light of Provence to enter its spacious rooms.

I think that you all are agree with me that the château needs some redo as maybe some new furniture and lighting, repainting,....

Wouldn't you love to get the opportunity to do that? Maybe I would ask Timothy Corrigan to help me with it because Timothy is used to renovate castles in France!
