Top Regions to Rent a Chateau
Where to rent a chateau
Just like our collection of chateaux, the regions of France have their own unique points; whether you’re a traveller who enjoys basking in the sunshine on a golden beach, a wine connoisseur who loves a bit of vineyard-hopping, or an outdoor explorer who’s obsessed with hiking, you’ll be able to find your ideal holiday in France.
Chateaux in northern France are a great base to explore the wild and rugged coastline, while a chateau in the south of France offers up a world of stunning nature and chic lifestyles. And with most of our chateaux being within walking distance to a local village, you’ll truly be able to live like a local.
Loire Valley
Where better to stay in a medieval chateau than in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage Site? With stunning landscapes that are draped in history, glamorous cities and incredible vineyards, Loire Valley is an idyllic French retreat.
Northern France
Boasting a dramatic coastline, lush green interiors, picturesque pockets (like Normandy) and a rich history, Northern France is authentic, beautiful and unlike any other region.
South of France
From the glittering French Riviera to the cobbled streets of Languedoc, this sun-soaked region of France caters to every taste – whether you’re a laid-back beach dweller, upmarket city slicker or simply a wanderer.
South West
Who doesn’t love South West France? Foodies flock to Aquitaine, outdoor explorers head to Midi-Pyrenees and those who are looking for a slow-paced quintessential French break visit Languedoc. The region ticks all the boxes!
Top French chateaux for rent
The experience of French chateau stays are unlike any other holiday home experience. Where else can you have breakfast overlooking the beautiful French countryside while staying somewhere that’s centuries-old (and sometimes even a listed property)? Each luxury chateau in our collection has its own unique history, whether they’ve housed French royals, or acted as refuges during wars. Although these chateaux date back hundreds of years, they’ve been lovingly restored by their owners. Our destination experts have handpicked every French chateau that’s in our collection.
