Facilities at the Chateau

Columbage manoir in chateau grounds

The images on this page are taken in the chateau grounds. We hope you will enjoy the peace and beauty the grounds offer, along with the amenities inside the house.


What we are proud of

  • We have rewired the whole house and renewed all plumbing. This fully conforms to the Constat de Risqué au plomb (all lead pipes replaced).
  • A new lightning conductor has been installed to protect the property. This was quite a shock (forgive the pun) 4000 euros.
  • Fire extinguishers are on each floor and serviced annually.
  • Smoke alarms are in place on every floor.
  • We ask visitors not to smoke in the chateau. A sand filled container is provided on the terrace, for safety and to save our guardien, Pierre, having to pick up the stubs.
  • No need to heave bottles of water from the supermarket. Through the arrangements of our plumber, the water is drinkable in the bathrooms as well as the kitchen.
  • We have a whole house water softener, with a special tap in the kitchen for tiny babies. This doesn't soften the water, as they need the nutrients from tap water. So babies get the non-softened, yet still purified water they need, whilst the adults, who no longer need all the nutrients, have pure, softened water.

There may be items we have left off the list, the small things you suddenly need, although you will generally find they are at hand. We have tried to equip the chateau in a way that would make us happy if we arrived at a property, to give guests the same as we would hope for.
