The Gîte

Up the stairs,
above the 15th-century wall.

Reached by a set of stairs off the listed 15th-century wall, Maison Juliette sits above the domaine with views over the towers, the gardens, and the main house. Two beautifully appointed bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen — everything you need, and nothing superfluous.

Finely pressed cotton linen, antique armoires, heated towel rails - every detail has been chosen to make a stay feel considered rather than merely comfortable.

Living Spaces

The Living Space

An open-plan dining and living room - the dining table leading into a comfortable sitting area, with high-speed Wi-Fi and a television offering French and English channels. The fully equipped kitchen runs seamlessly off the living space, complete with induction cooktop, oven, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, and washing machine.

Light pours in from the windows, and the views of the listed 15th-century towers and the gardens make every morning worth lingering over.
