Rooms + Suites

Countryside bliss.

A variety of accommodations can be found at Domaine des Etangs, each with thoughtful details and easy access to the surrounding countryside. The thirteenth century Castle features seven rooms and suites, each celebrating art and life with gallery-inspired living rooms. Photographic compositions by Dieter Appelt, Hermès chairs, and whimsical lighting add an extra touch to the magic of the Castle’s original details. The Longère building next-door features four spacious suites that seamlessly blend traditional materials with contemporary design. For ultimate privacy, the six spacious Métairie Cottages boast one to five double bedrooms and are just a bike ride away from the heart of the château. With oversized living rooms and fully equipped kitchens, we love these for a relaxing family getaway.
Wellness

Thermal baths and seasonal treatments.

Whether unwinding indoors or soaking up the sunshine outdoors, guests can enjoy a year-round pool set within the château and a seasonal outdoor pool, both framed by the tranquil beauty of the estate’s natural landscape. The gym is open year-round, with state-of-the-art equipment including ellipticals, exercise bikes, treadmills, free weights, and floor mats. Not to mention, it overlooks the property’s stunning surroundings.
