The chateau has an elegant and imposing presence, and while the rooms are comfortable and well-maintained, the service in the restaurant leaves a lot to be desired. The dining experience was marred by slow service and overlooked etiquette, despite the charming ambiance and good food during breakfast. Additionally, it's set in a beautiful and serene area, perfect for relaxation, but lacks accessibility due to narrow and winding roads.

Staying at the chateau was a unique experience surrounded by the stunning scenery of Cevennes National Park. The charm of the place added to the atmosphere, and I particularly enjoyed the delicious meals served. However, the winding roads to get there made the drive feel longer, and the Internet connection was quite unreliable. Overall, it’s a lovely spot for a peaceful retreat, just be prepared for its remote location.

Staying at this charming chateau was a delight due to its unique character and serene surroundings, but it fell short in some areas like room comfort and Wi-Fi connectivity.
