Chateau Giroux France
Holiday Home Rental Description
Situated in the midst of farmland near Paris, this chateau north of the Loire Valley provides unparalleled peace. Through the gates, up the manicured drive you’ll find the stately manor house, a testament to classic French design. Inside there is a sense of majesty, with parquet wood flooring, intricate rugs, and antique furniture throughout. But you may not stay inside long – large windows invite you out into the sweeping gardens surrounding the chateau.
Just outside is a lake where you’re welcome to fish, or simply watch the ducks dabble. If you’d prefer to swim, the private pool is charming, surrounded by green. If you’d like a tour of the countryside, take a bike from the chateau and have an invigorating ride. It’s not too far to the tiny riverside town of Brau (10 km) – the site of the nearest pub, a good selection of restaurants, and a convenient supermarket.
This holiday chateau is within striking distance of several fascinating cities – Orleans, Paris, Le Mans, and Tours can all be reached within a 1.5 hour drive. The cathedral at Chartres less than an hour north is a must-see. Wherever you wander, your holiday will be nothing short of serene.
Chateau Giroux is located in the Eure-et-Loir department of France.
The Beauce region occupies the south-west part of the department, and is characterised by flat agricultural land.
Inevitably, the focus of most visits to this region is the famous Chartres cathedral which is a protected world heritage site. The town of Chartres itself also contains an interesting old town that is a pleasure to mill around.
The most well-known castle in Eure-et-Loir is located at Chateaudun, and as with Chartres this landmark is only the tip of the iceberg, as the town itself offers a wealth of ancient architectural triumphs.
Nearby Senonches is one of the most important towns in the Perche Regional Natural Park and is surrounded by extensive forests, which have established it as a very popular place for walking and cycling.
Alternatively, you are only around 120 km from the Eiffel tower, and all the romance of central Paris.Professional chefs can prepare food on demand : – Breakfast €12,00 p/p- Lunch €25,00 p/p- Dinner €25,00 p/p
