Photos and Description of this Deux-Sevres holiday chateau / country house Large holiday chateau - perfect for family reunions & events

The imposing 12th Century Chateau de St Jean is surrounded by 56 acres of maintained grounds and lies nestled just south of the Loire Valley, surrounded by numerous features of the period and region including countless hidden away Roman ruins, abbeys and picturesque villages. The oldest part of the Chateau de St Jean itself was constructed on Roman ruins, to be later expanded during the 16th and 19th Centuries. The Chateau de St Jean has 16 bedrooms and would make an ideal venue for a function such as a wedding or anniversary event, being able to accommodate up to 34 people in comfort. 9 further full sized single beds and 2 children’s cots can be added with ease to expand accommodation to cater for up to 45 guests.

Location: Deux-Sevres in France

Nearest Airport: Poitiers at 15 Kilometres
The nearest airport is Poitiers just 15km away and the chateau lies on the village of St. Julien l'Ars. This spacious Chateau lies in the centre of the ancient French kingdom of Poitou, a picturesque region close to the Loire Valley that is rich in history and nature. The capital city of Poitiers, a short drive away from the chateau, is steeped in history and provides guests with numerous opportunities for day trips and chances to explore the narrow medieval streets and churches of the town. The town is home to some 3rd Century church ruins that should be missed. The coastal town of La Rochelle is a short journey away; as are the golden beaches of favoured celebrity resort the Ile de Re. The celebrated vineyards of Cognac and the Loire Valley are also very close by and open to tours and tasting sessions.

Rating
5 out of 5

So good I rented it twice

galleryguy Bellingham,Wa. USA
Review Submitted: March 1, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2008
Chateau St. Jean is comfortable and elegant. I brought a group of artists here twice and every one of them is still talking about it. There is lots of room so that even a large group has space to get away from the crowd. The grounds are also huge. I particularly enjoyed the kitchen which is well equipped and in scale with the rest of the estate (it's big!). The location is handy as the road system will take you quickly in any direction. The most interesting direction is north to the Loire. There are a couple of beautiful valleys that take you there. A visit to some of the winerys in the area is highly recommended.The owners provided good directions from Paris but study the maps well as it is very easy to miss a turn. Poitiers is very close and I recommend dropping your rental car there and taking the train back to Paris. The car agencies are next to the train station (mostly) and the train goes directly to Charles DeGaulle airport. Book ahead though. It couldn't be easier. Rent your car at Orly airport on the south side of Paris for a convienient and short ride to the Chateau. Sincerely, Wade
