If you think the grand surroundings of a French chateau might be a little intimidating for a holiday – suits of armour in cold, dark corners and the propriétaire hovering in case you scratch the antiques – think again. The latest holiday trend for families, whether celebrating a wedding, landmark birthday or anniversary, or simply joining forces to split the costs, is to take over a chateau and live like lords and ladies for a week or two.
The decadent dwellings of centuries past have been brought bang up to date, you can now browse through chateaux to rent over the internet. Simply Chateau is the website that brings the finest French housing to your home. With over 150 castles, chateaux and manor houses on its books, the internet service makes a short stay in the lap of luxury an affordable reality. Throw a wild party to impress your friends, host a wedding to remember or just have a quiet stay - but make sure you spend your time in your dream home wisely.
