This is a favorite of ours going back at least 15 years.
From their Website:
Nestled in the heart of 12 acres of luscious parkland, 3km from
Chantilly and 35km to the North of Paris, the Château de la Tour is a true
haven of tranquillity where time seems to stand still... an exquisite early
19th Century home, the Château is a blend of elegance, comfort and
conviviality, making for a memorable experience. With 41 rooms of exceptional
comfort, a restaurant and bar each with a terrace overlooking the grounds, an
outdoor heated pool, tennis courts, a fitness trail and 2 massage rooms, come
and experience the Château’s authentic charm for yourselves.
History: This tasteful
Anglo-Normand home was built at the beginning of the 19th Century by a
distinguished family of Parisian bankers, who wanted to take advantage of the
enchanting, lush green oasis just outside the capital.
Requisitioned during the Second World War, it was in 1946 that
the property was first converted into a Hotel Restaurant. The Château quickly
became the place to be for anyone who was anybody in Paris, its convivial allure enticing the
likes of Edith Piaf, Tino Rossi and Jean Gabin for whom the Château soon became
a favourite haunt.
In 1972 the establishment was bought by Roland and Jeanne
Jadas, and its doors re-opened only in 1974, after many long months of
refurbishment works. In 1990, at the
initiative of the current owner, François Jadas, the historic part of the
building was also renovated. Completely in keeping with the original style, the
Château’s facilities were expanded to include 41 guest rooms, new function and
seminar rooms, an English-style bar and a heated pool just to top it all
off.
Perpetuating the traditional values of welcome and quality at
the heart of the French independent hotel trade, the Château has experienced an
impressive rise in popularity over the years.
In 2011, the owner’s eldest daughter, having taken over the
running of the place, also decided to instigate a number of renovations, adding
a further touch of femininity to the ancestral home.

Dordogne

From their Website: Welcome to the most idyllic Bed and Breakfast – or Chambres d’hotes, as we call it here, in the Dordogne: Chateau Lalinde. The experienced traveller can become jaded with superlatives used to attract visitors. Chateau Lalinde needs none. Situated on the Dordogne River, it is the perfect place for whatever event or activity holiday you are planning - or just for total relaxation in a stunning setting. The chateau gives you a perfect base for:
- a golfing holiday
- canoeing on the Dordogne
- hiking
- cycling
- fishing
- to explore the area's history and pre-history
- to enjoy wine tasting
- sample some of the best food in France
- as a venue for a small conference, seminar or speciality courses
- a family reunion
- a wedding party
- an incentive get-away for employees
- a board of directors’ meeting or retreat
- team building workshops
Avoiding the museum-like clichés of many other historic chateaux and dwellings, Chateau Lalinde is a beautiful private home --- and one you can make ‘yours’ for the dream chateau home-stay in a wonderful location.
There is a legend in the Dordogne that goes like this:
When the Creator had made the earth and the mountains and the rivers and the plants and animals and the First Man and First Woman, he was pleased with his work. And like any creator of beautiful things, he wanted to add the last touch to make it perfect. So he sent an angel to the earth with a big bag of precious stones and instructed him to scatter the gem stones all over the earth. Wherever the stones fell, a beautiful chateau would appear and serve as homes for Man and Woman.
The angel started over Russia, scattering a handful of the precious stones here and there. He then flew over Eastern Europe, again scattering a handful here and there. When he flew over Germany and Austria, he felt a little more generous -- as the bag was also starting to feel heavy and the sun was setting in the west. Next he flew over France, and, getting a little tired, he stumbled over a sun ray, spilling half his bag of gem stones over the Loire valley.
Now only the most precious stones were left. And that was when he flew over the lovely Dordogne River. He thought it so beautiful and worthy of the very best, that he decided to empty the entire bag of precious stones along the length of the Dordogne Valley.
And the most beautiful little gem landed on the edge of the water in Lalinde….
The pool area on the side of
the chateau is walled and gives total privacy. The infinity pool creates a
feeling of swimming right on the edge of the river itself -- it is not heated,
but enjoys full sun and the water is a comfortable temperature throughout
summer. The pool is equipped with an alarm for safety.
"……The sense of the
surreal persisted as I was led into the most beautiful bedroom I have ever
stayed. The shutters were thrown back and the sound of rushing water filled the
room. There were no other houses in sight, only the forest opposite, with the
glimpse of an old stone chapel on the crest of the hill……Over the few days I
was in the Dordogne, I decided it offered more than any other region I had
visited in France…… the highlight was staying in the magical Chateau Lalinde
which made me feel, for a few days, like a princess."
A complimentary glass of wine
awaits guests upon arrival.

Chateau History: The current Chateau was rebuilt
in 1795, replacing an earlier Chateau believed to date from the 15th century,
(the ruins of which can be found in the grounds,) being destroyed during the
French revolution The Chateau was vastly extended around 1860. The same family
occupied the Chateau from the 18th century until approximately 1980. This
family were responsible for the construction of the Paris
to Toulouse railway, as well as the Toulouse to Foix, and
Foix to St Girons railways. Until recently the Chateau boasted its own railway
station. This family also owned many farms and other properties in this area.
However, following the death of the last elderly resident, ownership of the
Chateau was mysteriously transferred to the existing caretaker. Although
challenged in court, his ownership was upheld. However, the Chateau then fell
into disrepair.
It was purchased in 1990 by a single
family, using it as a summer home, but at the same time arranging expert
renovation of all the main rooms. From 2000 to 2005, the use of the Chateau was
changed to a hotel and restaurant.
From 2005, the current owners
have used the Chateau solely as their family home, but occasionally renting the
entire Chateau to offset running costs.

location however of Hotel Le Relais Saint-Michel to Mont-Saint Michel is

The experience is truly awesome and thought by including a hotel so
close to the action, some might just prefer this location.

At the heart of a peaceful village, Located in Seine et Marne, set in the greenery alongside the Ourcq canal, in
the countryside, rediscover the unique atmosphere from an old time refuge,
associated with hotel service that will satisfy the strictest requirements!
A bit of history - If someone were to tell me the tale of
Gressy-en-France… it would be the story of a village from old France. Once
upon a time there was a place where people had lived since the dawn of history
... whose name comes from the Latin "Gratiacum" - place of grace,
meaning an enjoyable area. Who could doubt that, walking around this village
enshrined in its green jewel box, with its streams and waterfalls, its birds
and flowers? In 1180 Raúl de Gressy, the minor lord of this blessed area, founded
the church dedicated to St. Denis, his daughter Eustachie continued his work.
The church includes two very beautiful tombstones from the
start of the 13th century; classified: these are of the founders. It was in the
middle of the great century of Louis IV that the Frémont family appeared,
originating in Normandy.
They acquired the fiefdoms of Gressy-en-France and Moulignon (the mill) on the
Beuvronne. This was done by Robert de Frémont and his brother Nicolas, the
minister of Colbert. In his memoirs, the Duke of Saint Simon (in the family
since his mother-in-law was none other than Geneviève de Frémont, a woman of
great beauty, the wife of Guy de Durfort, the Duke of Lorges and Marshal of
France), says of Nicolas that he was considered to be "the richest man in
France". Robert, who found the castle that was located just next to the
fortified farm (the current site of Manoir de Gressy ) very uncomfortable ,
constructed a large bourgeois home "Clairefontaine" to house his wife
and six children.
He designed a park with many trees and in it dug canals
following a proposal by Le Notre. Their coat of arms: "Azure with three
Gold Leopard heads, placed two and one". The following landholders in the
fiefdom of Gressy (Les Pons Saint Maurice) would be close friends with
"Carmontelle" this worldly artist who had astonished the court of the
Duke of Orleans and who "sketched" the characters so perfectly with
his pen not only in his proverbs (and type of comedy) , and transparent dramas
(sort of Chinese shadow theater) but also in his portraits. He also liked to
draw gardens and parks. He stayed in Gressy-en-France many times both at
Clairfontaine and at Comte de Pons. At the same time, Pierre Joseph Macquer and
his brother came to stay in Calirefontaine. He accumulated responsibilities and
also became the "royal censor", meaning that he was in charge of
examining the interest and merit of scientific discoveries proposed to the
King. He worked much with Lavoisier and together they perfected the burning
glass, the first solar oven. A chemist at the Sevres plant, king Louis XV
charged him with determining the composition of hard porcelain, the secret of
which was jealously capped by the Chinese. He succeeded in this task in 1769.
It was also at Gressy that he experimented with the art of dying silk, and thus
reddening the waters of the Beuvronne many times (he was accused of this
section by the inhabitants of Gressy!)
At Clairfontaine, he also created a small laboratory and a
botanical garden with exotic trees some of which are still present today. He
was a magnificent experimentalist and it would take too long to list all of his
discoveries. It should also be noted that one of his books he wrote- the Guide
du Naturaliste (the Naturalist's Guide), with a preface by Buffon who was a
friend of his - was to amuse the reader all while educating him. Also at that
time there were three mills: The Moulignon mill, the Rouge mill, and a windmill
located on the plain, all were very active... which is not surprising for this
plain in France
whose fertility is well-known. After the revolutionary tumult (the destruction
was widespread, including the castle... which was partially rebuilt into the
current Townhall) calm returned to
the small village
of Gressy which went to
sleep for a while.
Just 25 minutes from Paris and Chantilly, a mere 8 minutes
from Paris Roissy CdG International airport and15 minutes from Disneyland
Paris®, imagine a quiet and charming countryside property with discreet luxury,
dedicated to your comfort on grand occasions or weekend's time escapades …
