THE
AREA
The Chateau de la Liegue offers a rare opportunity to enter the world
of the French aristocracy. This luxurious property is set in the Auvergne,
deep in the heart of France. The Chateau's owners have renovated their
ancestral home in perfect taste, providing every modern comfort while
preserving the aura of days gone by. The Chateau's exterior dates back
to the 17th century, while the interiors are decorated in opulent 18th-century
style. The property is a stunning showcase for antique furnishings,
ancestral portraits, leatherbound books and picturesque old hunting
weapons. Each of the bedrooms has its own special style, with canopy
beds and luxurious bathrooms with deep tubs and marble sinks. Set on
a hilltop, the property includes a 15-acre park and a small swimming
pool.
THE PROPERTIES
Imagine having breakfast in bed while listening to the fountain splash
in the inner courtyard, and enjoying the views of the Puys mountain
range from your bedroom window. On warm days, lunch is served outdoors
under an arbor of hazelnut trees. And in the evening, you will enjoy
exquisitely prepared gourmet meals served in the beautiful dining room,
silverware gleaming in the candlelight. All meals and wines are included,
and the discreet, highly trained staff (cook, maid and caretaker) will
help you feel perfectly at home. During your stay, you can tour nearby
chateaux and Romanesque churches, attend a concert at a local music
festival, or simply enjoy the beauty of the Auvergne. With volcanic
mountains, deep valleys and lakes, the Auvergne offers opportunities
for hiking, horseback riding and canoeing, as well as tennis and golf.
Day trips are possible throughout the region, as far as the Dordogne.

Six bedrooms
(four double, one twin, one single), five bathrooms and one shower room,
