Bed and Breakfast Rooms
The main chambre d'hôte (bed & breakfast) rooms are located in the keep, the oldest part of the castle.
They are enormous (10 x 10 metres) and are virtually unchanged from the fourteenth century.
Each one has been furnished and decorated in keeping with its
period; yet each one has its own small, but reassuringly modern,
private shower, basin, and toilet in the adjoining garderobe turret.
All guests are free to enjoy the tranquil grounds of the
Château; to boat and fish in the moat, to use the swimming
pool, play badminton, croquet, ping-pong, boules at the
castle. Golf, tennis, windsurfing and horse riding are all very
nearby. Or feel free just to relax and absorb the calming sense of history which pervades the Château.
There are a number of good restaurants in the vicinity, and the owners of Tennessus are very happy to
offer advice on the best places to eat, local specialities, etc.
IMPORTANT. Please note:
