Five spacious and elegant guest rooms with canopy beds and private baths, a music room, sitting rooms with large and inviting fireplaces, and peaceful garden terraces are all designed to provide guests exceptional comfort and relaxation.  Each room in the château is a harmonious blend of rich colors and a discerning sense of style. The Victor Hugo guest room is luxurious with a canopied bed and is a favorite of honeymooners.  Diane  (pictured below) has a king-size bed and 18th century paneling with an elegant en suite bathroom. Perse is Oriental in design providing both double and single canopied beds with marvelous garden views.  

The highlight of  any stay at Château de la Ballue will be tea and a guided tour of those magnificent gardens.  Visitors will appreciate the imagination that created the gardens and be amazed by the effort and care that maintains them.  Incredible sculptures punctuate the trail as one wanders among the various theme settings.  As you walk back toward the front of the château, look to your left to see a panoramic view of beautiful Brittany laid out before you.  It is an amazing château in an extraordinary location.  And,  only a short drive away,  in addition to Le Mont Saint-Michel, are the historic towns of Dinan, Dinard, Fougères, Combourg,  medieval Dol-de-Bretagne and, of course,  Brittany's Emerald Coast.  Thus,  it is truly a wise and discerning traveler who chooses to stay at Château de la Ballue.
