Welcome to Château Labaurie
Fairytale Chateau de Labaurie, stands majestically overlooking the pretty town of Chalais in the beautifully rolling hills of the Charente, well known for its sunny microclimate. For self-catering accommodations we have three spacious Chateau apartments & four individual cottages nestling in 43 acres of private woodlands and meadows.
Our Charente self-catering accommodations are fully equipped; fridge/freezer, cooker, iron/ board, crockery/cutlery, microwave, lots of hot water and comfortable beds. Some have dishwasher &/or washing machine and there is free use of a washing machine on site, plus garden furniture and barbeques. Electricity and gas for cooking are included.
The 12x 6 metre blue swimming pool is fenced and has underwater lighting during the summer evenings casting magical shadows onto the Louis XV former bell tower, (perfect for your late night dip). Grassed badminton/volley ball courts; table tennis, small football pitch, & lovely walkways through our woods are at your disposal. And we have a small pond on the outskirts of our estate where you can catch a fish or two. Our latest addition is a special wild flower plantation to encourage the survival of the threatened bee population.
You can walk into Chalais, our local town, for its weekly street market, bar cafes, shops and restaurants, tennis courts, river fishing and cinema & theatre, and Chateau de Labaurie is ideally situated for visiting wine regions, atlantic beaches, canoeing, horse riding, and taking meandering trips on the River Charente.
17th century Chateau de Labaurie once was home to a dashing French Cavalier. Restored from a ruin in the 1989, this tranquil estate provides French holidays for those needing a vital escape from todays’ busy pace of life.
