Special Features:

The elegance of this pale yellow 19th century manor house is magnified by the warmth and refinement of your hosts, as you will quickly discover when you visit Château du Foulon. Most appreciated is the tranquility of this special property -- over 100 acres of wooded parkland accented by friendly peacocks and peahens roaming freely and a pair of dazzling white swans floating gracefully in the stream. Enjoy long walks on pathways flanked by lush ferns beneath the shade of age-old trees. Take part each morning in a sumptuous buffet breakfast in the pleasant dining room, and luxuriate in guest rooms and suites tastefully furnished to ensure your total comfort. Château du Foulon's location makes it an ideal spot for visits to Atlantic beaches, the pine forest of the Landes, the Médoc and Haute Médoc wine country, and the delightful city of Bordeaux. Your host and hostess, the Viscount and Viscountess de Baritault du Carpia, will not only provide restaurant recommendations for your evening meals, but they will be happy to assist you in planning tours of the grand crus of the Médoc peninsula. Tourism is a fairly recent phenomenon in this region; thus, lodging may not be easy to find. To have the opportunity to stay at Château du Foulon is, therefore, all the more special and will add to fond memories of western Aquitaine you'll treasure for years.
