On the table

A generous, home-made table

Bread and pastries, jams and honey, yoghurts, regional cheeses and charcuterie, eggs cooked to order, fresh fruit and home-made cakes: everything you need to start the day without hurrying.

On the table
  • Coffee, tea, milk, hot chocolate
  • Bread, pastries
  • Selected jams, honey
  • Yoghurts, regional cheese, local butter, local charcuterie, eggs cooked to order, cereals, muesli
  • Fresh fruit, selected fruit juices

There is no children's menu as such: children have the same breakfast, free or at a reduced price depending on age. Nor is there a gluten-free menu, but there is plenty to put one together — eggs, yoghurts, cheeses, fruit: just tell us the day before.

  • Regional produce
  • Eggs to order
Around the château

Where to have lunch and dinner

The château serves neither lunch nor dinner. For those meals, here is the list we drew up ourselves, by going there. It changes with the seasons, and many of these dining rooms are small: a phone call before you set off saves you finding the door closed.
