Le Chateau is a 19th century French Country House. Situated on the edge of a pretty circulade hilltop village with stunning views of the Pyrenees and Corbieres whilst the vineyards and sunflowers are dotted in the foreground on gently rolling hills.

Sally Crocker has lovingly restored this character home maintaining the cosy informal atmosphere.
