Stay in a castle, or become a chtelaine for the weekend,

in The French Ardennes

British holidaymakers heading to France to stay in castles and chateaux are now
being tempted to The French Ardennes by a new e-brochure filled with opportunities
to stay as a guest in a wide range of historic propertiesor even become a
chtelaine for the weekend.
Stay in a Castle - available only in French - is an invitation to book a night or two in
The French Ardennes, in castles and chateaux which have been transformed into
hotels and guest houses, or are offering larger groups the chance to take-on the
entire property for a weekend with family and friends.
Two of the finest properties in the region have been converted to offer hotel
accommodation, at value-for-money prices.
Htel Le Chteau Fort in Sedan (www.chateaufort-sedan.fr), for example, is located
within the largest fortress in Northern Europe. This 4-star hotel has 54 rooms and
suites, with prices starting from around 65 per person, sharing a double room, with
breakfast and dinner.
Nearby Domaine Chteau du Faucon (www.domaine-chateaufaucon.com),
meanwhile, is a paradise for horse lovers, with some of the rooms overlooking an
indoor equestrian centre. Located close to Sedan, this 17th century property sits
within 28 hectares of its own land. Prices start from around 95 per person sharing
a double room with breakfast and dinner for two people.
The second category of accommodation in the e-brochure highlights chateaux with
guest rooms, and include Le Domaine du Chteau de Montaubois
(www.chateaudemontaubois.com), an 18th century property in a 4 hectares park,
with a medieval garden, baroque chapel, and a large spa and fitness area. Prices
start from 65 per person sharing a double room and includes breakfast and dinner
for two people.
Another chateau offering five guest rooms, Manoir de la Gravire (www.lagraviere.fr) is set against the backdrop of gentle rolling hills crossed by calming
rivers. Prices here start from around 60 per person sharing a double room with
