In the heart of Normandy, located between Caen and Bayeux, Château d’Audrieu offers an enigmatic step back in time. This 17th-century building, officially listed as a French Historic Monument, retains the warmth, welcoming feel and conviviality of a family home.

Here, every moment celebrates Normandy’s unique art de vivre: from strolls in the estate to excursions to the D-Day landing beaches, via visits to the Bayeux Tapestry, the historic city of Caen–one of the seats of the Dukes of Normandy–or to Mont-Saint-Michel. To fully savor the region, the Château's restaurant, Le Séran, offers authentic yet inventive cuisine that captures the distinctive flavors of Normandy.

Legend has it that Jean Cocteau designed the staircase of the Château de Courcelles... Regardless of whether it is true, this rumour speaks volumes about the attention to detail in this palace where Jean-Jacques Rousseau once liked to stroll in the French garden and French literary figures Racine, La Fontaine and Dumas stayed between Paris, the Aisne and the Champagne. Which now famous pages did they write here? This can be contemplated while strolling through the magnificent grounds, swimming in the pool, playing a round of golf, or a game of tennis, and dining like royalty, discovering the best local products and excellent Champagnes.

Château de la Gaude offers epicureans a sense of escape just ten minutes from the center of Aix-en-Provence. The Sainte-Victoire mountain seems to watch over this 18th-century estate, which features formal gardens classified as historic monuments–just like the main building. Calm and refinement reign supreme here: nature, gastronomy and wine rub shoulders with the works of contemporary artists, notably those of Philippe Pasqua–the property is also a residence for artists and regularly exhibits their works.

In the gardens, stroll along floral avenues that are a haven for butterflies, and lose yourself in the middle of a boxwood maze. The authentic charm of the property's exteriors contrasts with the minimalist decor of its rooms and suites, which are distributed between the main building and estate farmhouses. The hotel also offers more unusual stays in one of three contemporary cabins overlooking its vineyards. 

The Château de la Gaude's four restaurants include Le Art, featuring authentic Provençal cuisine, and Kaiseki, showcasing Japanese cuisine. Wine lovers can taste ‘AOC – Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence’, estate-grown bottlings. To complete your experience, discover a spa entirely dedicated to your well-being.

The towers of this château are so close to the river that it feels as if they are floating on it. Located between the Lot, known as the “land of marvels”, and the Dordogne, home to more than one thousand châteaux, the Château de la Treyne is the ideal base from which to set off and explore this fascinating region. The Chef adapts the cuisine of the terroir, based on foie gras or lamb from the Causses du Quercy nature park. A delicious dinner can be enjoyed in the Grand Louis XIII Salon, or on the terrace overlooking the Dordogne. Breathe in pure, fresh air and look around wide-eyed to take in this extraordinary setting.

A former summer residence of the Count-Bishops of Cahors, and a true haven of peace in Occitanie, Château de Mercuès has presided over the Lot Valley since the 13th century. Its majestic keep and turrets, built on a rocky outcrop, now house guest rooms that offer breathtaking views of the estate's vineyards. No two the same, each space highlights the building's unique character, with stone walls and exposed beams featuring in one direction, and antique tapestries or parquet floors in another. The cuisine, too, celebrates the property’s rich heritage. It tells the story of Occitan terroir through a gourmet, seasonal menu, made with locally sourced, sustainable ingredients. Dishes are designed to pair with the renowned, velvety Malbecs of Château de Mercuès, so emblematic of the Cahors appellation. Walks in the surrounding countryside, wine tastings–and conversations with the winemakers themselves–will transport you to the heart of Malbec art de vivre.
