| The countryside surrounding the city of Bordeaux has always held a fascination for visitors to France for its vineyards that produce world-famous wines as well as enchanting villages such as St-Emilion. Centered in this region is Château Coulon Laurensac, a classical residence whose owners warmly welcome guests and are eager to introduce them to their wine country. Guests can participate in personally escorted, informal wine tours -- visit the link above to their Bordeaux Wine Experience web site -- or use the château as a base to explore the region on your own. Monsieur and Madame Rens, both certified by the Dutch Wine Academy, have been the proud owners of Château Coulon Laurensac since 2002, and, in the Spring of 2004, they completed renovation to the 'chai à barriques', a lovely 200-year old building that once served as both the place to age wine in oak casks and as the cellar master's lodging when Coulon was still a wine producing property. Completely upgraded and freshly decorated, the chai is home to all the bed and breakfast guest rooms and the gîtes at the château. Beautifully furnished, some with Jacuzzi baths, but all with en suite bathrooms, the guest rooms provide comfort, lovely views and private entrances. Each has its own private terrace for enjoying the outdoors. A gourmet breakfast is served every morning for the bed and breakfast guests in the enchanting garden room of the château -- the perfect opportunity to discuss your plans for the day with your hosts if you'd like their tips and advice. All guests have use of the lovely pool at the south side of the château. For visitors to southwest France's wine country, time spent at Château Coulon Laurensac will be well rewarded with splendid accommodations, fine cuisine and, with the help of your congenial hosts, a rekindled appreciation for the fine wines of the Bordeaux region. |
