This is a grand house in the old french tradition. It is very individual, and beautiful. Sadly, it is also rather in need of renovation.

We were the only guest and it had a hint of the The Addams Family (in a GOOD way). It has tons of charm and is equipped with a butler, who in white gloves serves the breakfast in the grand dining room. The room was clean and the butler was very helpful and friendly. We...
