When nothing but an actual French chateau will do, The Wishing Fountain comes to the rescue. This lavish castle has hosted a few famous faces, from noblemen hiding from the French Revolution to Aga Khan and the Dalai Lama. This home is part of a larger estate and is offered here as a single unit with nine bedrooms —if you need more, check out Cosmopolitan Castle for the full estate. Nearby sights include the Landing Beaches, the Bayeux Tapestry and Monet's Garden — but there's so much to see around here that we'd rather just let you get on with it. When you're not out and about, relax on the vast estate that surrounds the chateau. You can walk in the gardens, splash around in the pool, play ping pong, work on your tan, read in the salon, or socialise in one of the living rooms. At night, retreat to one of the regal bedrooms, all of which are furnished with antiques and ready to welcome you into their quiet embrace.

Home truths

    The house rules are quite strict — no smoking and no parties anywhere on the premises

    You might have difficulties finding the chateau if you don't add the precise location to your GPS — ask the lovely host team if you have any trouble

    You'll need a car to get around the area comfortably — the public transport isn't frequent enough

    There are steps in this home, making it unsuitable for those with limited mobility

    Due to the unfenced pool on the premises, the host advises extra vigilance with children

About France

You could easily take a lifetime’s worth of French holidays and still feel like you haven’t scratched the nation’s surface. The most visited country in the world, France has long inspired artists, revolutionaries, dreamers, and bons vivants with its storybook landscapes, artistic treasures, and cultural idiosyncrasies. Paris is, of course, the country’s glittering centrepiece but there are countless beauty spots worth discovering outside of the City of Light. Sun yourself...

Host


This home is managed by Oliver

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.

This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
