Short Description: All inclusive. 14th century chateau for up to 8.
Long Description: Up to 8 people can experience a magical one week vacation tour of the beautiful and historic Dordogne region of France. Based in a chateau dating back to the 14th century overlooking the Valley of the Dordogne river, guests will enjoy en-suite accommodation, fine wines and gourmet cuisine. This is a truly all inclusive vacation with round trip first class rail travel from Paris to start the holiday. Our representative will meet you at your Paris hotel or the airport, and take you to Austerlitz station where you will board the train to Brive la Gaillarde and experience a journey through the heart of France. You will be met by your personal guide at Brive who will transport you in air-conditioned luxury to the Chateau where you will be greeted with a champagne reception and your first candlelight dinner. All meals at the Chateau will be prepared for you by your cordon bleu trained chef, and you will enjoy fine wines from all the major wine producing regions of France with both lunch and dinner. All bar drinks are included in the price of the vacation and any snacks taken whilst out on tour. Your personal guide will discuss the itinerary with you. The Dordogne or Perigord region as it used to be known is a treasure trove of historical and prehistorical attractions. You will visit medieval castles, towns and villages and experience a traditional French town market. Caves with etchings and drawings made thousands of years ago by prehistoric man are waiting for you to discover. Visit a local vineyard and learn about the production of the good local wines. At the end of the day you can relax by the Chateau's heated swimming pool, walk the grounds or take a bike ride. We can arrange golf, horse riding, river trips or hot air ballooning if you wish. (The cost of Ballooning is not included in the price of your vacation and will need to be paid directly to the operators).
Cheerful, attentive staff with a great deal of experience gained from working on the best hotel barges in Burgundy, will ensure that you have the vacation of a lifetime.
Testimonials: How can John and I ever thank you and your family for an amazing
holiday? Paris was actually a letdown after spending the great time we did
at the chateau.
I was in a beautiful hotel room in Paris and was homesick for Chateaux en
Ciel.
Our entire family loved every minute of being with you all. You and Chris
were wonderful to us and we do appreciate it so much. Amy took such care to
prepare wonderful meals that were not only delicious to eat but beautiful to
look at. She kept us all very happy and we loved hanging out in her kitchen.
And what a gorgeous voice! Beth did such a great job with her wine and
cheese presentations. Her table settings were exquisite both at lunch and
dinner and we loved all the little touches we noticed all over the house.
The fresh flowers in the living room and in our rooms, suite names
embroidered on our doors, the L'Occitane bath products and the "turndown"
service at night. The folder containing the staff biographies and explanation
of all the activities available at the chateau were much appreciated. Huw
was always there to greet us with a smile and to quickly respond to any
request we made of him even making sure we had fresh towels and water to
drink at the pool. He didn't miss a beat. Huw and Beth certainly make
terrific hosts. Dan was always gracious and helpful. Then there was
Matthew. What a guide! He was knowledgeable, patient, and very humorous.
You and Chris feel like old friends. We had such a good time with you both.
You have got one wonderful family. Your attention to all the details that
made our stay so memorable is incredible. You and your children have
obviously spent many hours on making sure your guests have unforgettable
holiday.
