A 13th-Century French Château Imbued with Nature's Artistic Soul
A place to find balance through art, nature, and the time-honored traditions of French country living, Auberge’s newest European escape is a magnificent stone château set on 2,500 forested acres (1,000 hectares). Built more than 700 years ago by the knights of Chasteignier de la Roche-Posay, this storybook castle is an idyllic retreat steeped in serenity and devoted to l’art de vivre past and present. Resting amid the tranquil ponds that gave it its name, Domaine des Etangs and its picturesque farmhouse cottages overlook rolling hills and verdant meadows in which the finest Limousin cattle graze. Food is picked from the gardens, and art is as integral as nature in instilling the sense of equilibrium symbolized by the Domaine’s dragonfly emblem.
