Château de Garrevaques
 
  Château de Garrevaques is a warm and welcoming family home, and as cheerful and inviting as these photographs indicate.  If a personal touch is what you desire, this unique residence offers that and more.  It proudly sits in its own 8-acre park surrounded by stately trees and vast lawns.  A swimming pool is the focal point of outdoor activity and is available for the enjoyment of château guests.  Château de Garrevaques is occupied today by the fifteenth generation of the family who constructed it in 1460.  It survived extensive damage during the French Revolution, but was rebuilt late in that century to stand today as a beautifully decorated, tastefully restored example of the architecture of the period and the region.   Guest rooms are adorned with gilt-framed mirrors, sparkling chandeliers, exquisite wallcoverings and fabrics, rich parquet flooring and antique furnishings, while hand-painted wallpaper dating from the early 19th century depicting classical scenes can be found in the main salon.  More recently, several additions were made to the estate:  first came the Gamekeeper's Lodge (Maison de Régisseur), a weekly rental accommodation for a large family or group of friends.  Then, a few years ago, a lovely 15- guest room hotel and two restaurants were added ~ Le Pavillon du Château.  Add to that the spa, Les Soins de Colette, and you have a truly complete vacation retreat.  Of course, there is that wonderful swimming pool for everyone to use!   Don't forget that Château de Garrevaques is the perfect venue for meetings, seminars, and, most of all, a grand marriage and reception.  Complete facilities for an indoor or outdoor reception are available to make a wedding day just perfect!  The grand family traditions of Château de Garrevaques  -- combined with the beauty of the residence and gardens -- are made even more delightful by your cordial hosts who sincerely want you to find great pleasure and joy as guests on their estate.  A vacation spent at Château de Garrevaques will not only introduce you to this beautiful part of France, but it will remain part of your best memories of France for years to come.
