“It was the most magical place we had ever been”, say the current owners about their first trip to Bête et Belle, and we have to agree with them. The château has been standing since 1175, and these walls have some stories to tell — tales of buried treasure, revolutions, and artistic genius. As soon as you enter this beautifully restored home, you’ll be swept up in the enchanting interiors of virgin blue and naked stone, surrounded by ivy-strewn gardens and a private pool. But with all good stories, there’s more to this place than you first might assume; venture a little further and you’ll discover a “disco cavern” hewn into the rock, an art workshop in the loft, and everything you need to create your own tales in this unique home.

About France
You could easily take a lifetime’s worth of French holidays and still feel like you haven’t scratched the nation’s surface. The most visited country in the world, France has long inspired artists, revolutionaries, dreamers, and bons vivants with its storybook landscapes, artistic treasures, and cultural idiosyncrasies. Paris is, of course, the country’s glittering centrepiece but there are countless beauty spots worth discovering outside of the City of Light. Sun yourself...

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
