This graceful, Disney-style château was built in 1575 and has three stunningly beautiful towers with impressive turrets. Château Chamborigaud is set in a lovely 5 acre park in the Cevennes mountains, and enjoys the river Luech flowing lazily along its boundaries, reached via a gate. Nimes airport is just over one hour drive away (and the drive itself is incredibly scenic!) and the train station to Alès and Nimes is close by.
There is a substantial terrace around the château which is perfect for dining, and in the beautiful park-style grounds you'll find a large outdoor swimming pool area with cuisine d'été, a terrace for BBQs and a changing room.
Château Chamborigaud is a short walk away from a charmingly beautiful village with adjacent tennis court (small fee - there is key in château), shopping facilities, bars and restaurants. There are also many wonderful walks and drives to enjoy in the surrounding area which is also a haven for foodies - it's renowned for its wild boar, chestnuts and mushrooms. There's more than ample parking space for everyone too.

- Even though the château has 10 bedrooms, only 5 are stand alone rooms and 3 are 'family rooms,' where the second room can only be accessed by walking through the first. As the name suggests, this does make them great for families! Please see the "Layout" and floorplans (in the photo section) for details.
- The château has a full time guardian couple, Leon and Alyse, living on site with their baby. They are on site in a separate building or at their small holding nearby.
- Walking distance to a village/restaurant however please note that some parts of the route do not have pavements.
