Sweeping views across golden fields, acres of ancient oaks to explore and a private lake for wild swimming – this 18th Century château invites you to enjoy it all from the picturesque heart of Gascony. Welcomed by the estate managers, you’ll find everything you could need for a restorative retreat or intimate celebration. From sunrise yoga sessions and refreshing swims in the heated pool, to leisurely countryside strolls and fun-filled afternoons playing games or reading in the library, every sense promises to be serenaded by the unique charm of this setting. You’ll also find a small chapel nestled within the grounds, while the gardens provide the perfect opportunity to relax, read and listen to the soothing sounds of nature. For adventures further afield, explore the pretty villages of Gascony, browse colourful market stalls, follow hiking trails or play games of tennis on the nearby courts. By sunset, you’ll find this home lends itself perfectly to celebratory drinks and meals prepared by a local chef (available on request).

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...

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.
