Château Les Roches has received some coverage in the press:
We were featured in France Today, the magazine of French travel and culture, in the October 2008 edition. The following article was written by Susan Herrick-Luraschi:
"The Château Les Roches, a new six-room boutique B&B, is way off any beaten track at almost 500 meters (1640 ft) in altitude. More bourgeois mansion than château, part Norman gabled-roof, part turreted tower, it sits quietly behind tall gates in a small medieval village. Its young proprietors, American Tobias and German Marco, spent months hunting for a property and fell for this 1900-style manor built by a Parisian judge for his mistress. The judge had good taste and full pockets-you might miss a stone carving of his ladylove over the entrance but you’ll certainly catch her image in the hand-painted panels on the dining room ceiling. Careful renovations enhanced the house’s good bones: ceilings are high, bedrooms are spacious-two of them boast unusual half-moon or round windows-and bathrooms glow with bevelled white tiles. From the terrace there are unobstructed views of the valley and lush forests. Unusual for a B&B, a four-course dinner is served on Thursday and Saturday nights-reservations essential. The first guests arrived in 2005 and the visitor’s book is already plump with praise. Full of promise and great value, Les Roches is already a great getaway."
The Gardener's Cottage was highlighted on the 14 July 2008 in The Sunday Times (Travel section) in an article, Summer in France The Smart Guide, written by Anthony Peregrine.
