Rooms

The Grand Salon is nearly ninety square metres and has quiet corners with an antique oak desk for work, large games table for board games or computer work, two three seater sofas and a large selection  of comfortable antique chairs.

The grand fireplace is emblazoned with our family crest which is also embroidered on one of the chairs.  Under the fireplace is a green enamelled wood burning stove and wood is provided during the winter. There are also electric radiators.

The windows look out one side onto Rue Gambetta and on the other side overlooking the courtyard.

Jean Moiras is a French modernist painter from the School of Paris. His work is classic mid-20th Century modernism – the period after ‘High Modernism’ – when the representational subject matter came to be mixed with abstraction in a single work of art. His work has been chosen because he is a native of the region, being based in the Auvergne.

The complexity of the roof structure can again be seen in this room.

There is a 180cm x 210cm double bed with a chair and chest of drawers.  The bathroom has a bath with shower hose and a basin and WC.  The air-conditioning is reversible in winter.

Nancy Wake, a New Zealander by birth is acknowledged to be the most decorated woman of the Second World War; her heroic exploits leading the French Resistance in 1944 were recognised with medals from France, Britain, America and Australia.

The room contains photographs of her and a rare first-day postal cover explaining her exploits.

The roof beams are exposed and shaped like an upturned boat.

There are two single beds 90 x 210cm with chairs and a chest of drawers. The walk-in shower room has a basin and WC. The air-conditioning is reversible in winter.

Harpignie was a leader in the Brabazon school of landscape painters in the late 19^th century and spent several years living in Herisson. This room is decorated with examples of his work.

The exposed roof beams are a work of art in themselves.

There is a 180cm x 210cm double bed with a sofa and chest of drawers. The walk-in shower room has a basin and WC.  The air-conditioning is reversible in winter. There is a cot available for use in this room.

The Asterix room is in the tower house, on the lower floor. There is a full adult-sized bunk bed and pull-out drawer bed.

The room is decorated with cinema posters advertising Asterix films.

A bathroom leads off this room.

Reached from the Asterix room by a small, rather steep, staircase is the mezzanine floor with a queen-sized double bed.

This room, nearest the castle, overlooks the pool and courtyard through its dormer window.

There is no air-conditioning but it is heated in winter by radiators. Together with the Asterix room, this family suite is ideal for a group who wish to be separate from the rest of their party.
