Wonderful castle in the woods

The property was perfect for us for a week of relaxing, visiting Paris and Disneyland. The setting is beautiful in the woods and very private, but only a short walk to the local village with a small playground, bakery and shop.

70th birthday celebrations

We were celebrating both the New Year and a 70th birthday at the Spa in the Woods.Enjoyed exploring the area and coming back to relax in the spa.Great location which did not disappoint. Loved the quirkiness of the little castle and how it was tucked away in the woods.

Such a lively space to enjoy a holiday in France. Just 30 mins (with tolls) to disney and 1 hour 20 mins from Paris. The local villages are quaint with Markets on Tuesdays and Saturdays which were enjoyable to browse around.

Another wonderful stay

This was our second stay at the Pink castle and it was just as magical as the first time! Again Camille was extremely helpful and very easy to communicate with, even with the language barrier. The house was stunning, clean and well kept. The added addition of the awning over the patio this year was very welcome in the 37degree heat! I would highly recommend this property, it’s just beautiful.

Our very own castle!

We spent a week in the unique La Folie du Chanois and gad a lovely family holiday. Our son (31 years) and grandson (6 years) were both equally excited on our arrival to explore all areas of their very own castle (well, for a week, anyway!) The host, Camille, has presented a property with everything you could need or want for a very comfortable stay. Our daughter-in-law relaxed in the spa/hot tub, the men went exploring in the woodland and we enjoyed many delicious meals with locally bought produce. Croissants and bread, a small shop, and a pizza vending machine (that's a new one on us!) are all availablein the village, only 10minutes walk away. Between us we visited Disneyland Paris, the Chateaux of Fontainbleau and Compeigne, and the towns of Meaux, Reims and Chateau-Thierry, with its pleasant riverside amenities and war memorial (views of the town are impressive from up there). We would thoroughly recommend this special property.

A magical place

We stayed as a family of 7 to celebrate our daughter’s 7th birthday (age range 7-78!) Only 30 minutes from Disneyland which was perfect for a day trip. Driving up to the pink castle in the woods is just magical. The property and surroundings are absolutely beautiful, a real gem in the French countryside. The house itself is exceptional, very well kept and clean, a unique place to stay. Camille was wonderful, we couldn’t ask for more. A high light for us was champagne tasting by the hot tub with Ophelie from Cricco vineyard. Needless to say a few bottles have travelled home with us! Our children (7&11) spent hours in with garden bug hunting and following the gecko’s. If you love nature you’ll love this house. We were very sad to leave and will be making a return trip next year. We would highly recommend this properly.

The Pink Castle Retreat

My family and I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Pink Castle. The location was just superb and the castle and grounds themselves were picturesque. We will most definitely be back again. The host Camille could not have been more helpful and she really helped us out when our hire car fell through. She arranged another one for us and then was kid enough to ask her family to take us back to airport for our return flight. The only one negative about the castle would be that the rooms are quite far away from each other and it’s not ideal for families with small children. The small attic room above the master bedroom would be ideal for a small child. Wonderful stay and the weather was just beautiful!

A short bathe in the forest

Life amongst the trees in a pink turreted folie should be a surrealist’s dream or a childish Fantasy. Grandchildren and Grown Ups alike were enchanted and delighted to stay, albeit too briefly, in this ‘sleeping beauty’ castle hidden amongst the trees. Torn between: The peaceful confines of privately secluded & spacious sunlit rooms furnished by up or down spiral staircases with medieval doors and subtly heated floors Or the Mad Hatter bonkers busyness of ‘downtown’ Disneyland Paris. What welcome relief to return exhausted to a warm & welcoming hot tub amongst the trees and retire to a thoughtfully designed room with a comfortable bed. All our expectations met & exceeded & looking forward to the next chapter in this, our very own fairy tale.

A wonderful holiday.

As we rounded the corner of the drive to our destination, we couldn’t believe how pretty the castle and the grounds were. The outside space is lovely to spend time in. My wife and I enjoyed the jacuzzi & between us we read 12 novels in 2 weeks. A great place to unwind in, but also near to a number of great places to day-trip to. We took the train to Paris & enjoyed the Seine via BateauBus. We went to Troyes for the day. Reims was beautiful as were many of the smaller towns in the Champagne Region, nearby.. Needless to say, many glasses of Champagne were drunk, as well as some great wine, gin & beer - not all at the same time I hasten to add! Ten out of ten & we hope to return. Many thanks to Camille for all of her help. Paul.

A wonderful property in a lovely location

As you drive up the path into the forest you are met with a view the impressive pink castle and there to greet us was the robotic lawn mower. The property is wonderful, very spacious and well equipped compared to many properties we have previous stayed in. If you like wildlife then you will not be disappointed with this location. There are many varieties of birds, insects and even red squirrels. The hot tub is fabulous and a great way to relax after a long day walking. We will no doubt revisit this property at some point in the future. Finally thank you to Camille who was very helpful.

Amazing!

A beautiful, well equipped pink castle. Set in the middle of a private wood, the castle is secluded with no nearby neighbours. Camille was lovely with suggestions of local events. The castle offers spacious rooms with a castle feel, whilst being underfloor heated and having a laundry! The gardens are a joy and offer loads of room for the kids to run around, There is a Mowbot who keeps the grass tidy. Close to Disney, historic war memorials such as belleau wood and also a plethora of champagne houses. Amazing Castle, great location, wonderful owner...Fabulous holiday

Property with a lot of character and very well equipped.

La Folie du Chanois is very well placed for visiting the area around Paris. If you wished to visit Disneyland it is 30 mins away. We chose to go to Parc Astérix which is just over an hour away. There are pretty towns and villages to explore and the Champagne producing area. We visited castles and palaces such as Chantilly and Pierrefond. There is access to WW1 sites along la Marne river. Le Musée de la grande guerre is well worth a visit. La Folie is located in a small wood. We enjoyed the patio at the back with sun loungers and the hot tub/ spa surrounded by trees and bird song. We could hear the woodpeckers but only saw one once. Lovely artisanal Baker in the village. Our 20 and 22 year old daughters chose to share one of the twin bedrooms downstairs because the other was deemed spooky. As has been previously commented on the bedrooms are all separated on different staircases and may be an issue with young children. All the bathrooms / showers were good. We found the waterproof mattress covers a bit hot to sleep on. Camille the owner is lovely and very considerate. Overall an amazing and unusual property, very well equipped, and furnished with antiques. May well visit again.

Brilliant Family Holiday

Stayed at the pink castle for the first week of Aug 2018 with our 5 and 1 year old (4 of us) Was very pleased with our accommodation, clean, comfortable and extremely spacious. Good kitchen/equipment, good showers, comfortable beds and sofa - the only issue we had was the internet wasn't working due to an external problem outside Camille's control and they bent over backwards to sort out and bought a mobile internet box to use until the internet service provider fixed the issue. The property is big and yes it can feel like the rooms are far apart as none of them are on the main living room/kitchen/garden floor but there are doors than can be opened to the downstairs two rooms making access much easier. As it was exceptionally hot when we stayed we all slept in the rooms downstairs as it was cooler. The stairs were not an issue with our children. We visited the Effiel Tower, Disney, Chateaux Thierry (Buffalo Grill good restaurant and kids loved it) and had a few days exploring the woods, playing table tennis, football/frisbee in the garden. Very peaceful, great location, loads to do and fab place to chill out (can recommend the hot tub after a day at Disney!) We just loved it here and plan to come back. Can def recommend the pink castle!

Delightful and peaceful place to stay.

The Pink Castle is an amazing place hidden in the woods. Our granddaughter (aged 3) loved it - as did everyone else in our party. There is so much to explore both inside and outside of the chateau. The rooms were well-equipped and very comfortable. Camille was a very helpful host. The boulangerie has n the Village did fantastic bread, croissants and cakes. Yvette Guittard champagne house provides delicious champagne at very reasonable prices.

Unique property and lovely location

This is a quirky place with loads of space and grounds in a nice village. The kids enjoyed exploring the turrets and sitting in the hot tub. Camille was a lovely host and checked everything was in order. There are a lot of steps and the bedrooms are all apart from one-another so this would not be ideal for very young children but great for those wanting their own space.

Secluded fairy castle!

Beautiful property, nicely furnished with an amazing hot tub, what more could we ask! Camille was friendly, approachable and efficient, thank you so much for letting us stay in your wonderful castle! Perfectly placed for exploring Champagne, would recommend a visit to Hautvillers, the Pannier cellars, and into the bigger town of Epernay. Would also recommend the boat trips at Blue Nautic at the municipal campsite in Epernay. The Folie is a WONDERFUL place to spend a relaxed week with good friends xxx

Amazing - photos do not do this justice

We loved our stay at the pink castle that is La Folie du Chanois. The bedrooms are large and comfortable with really good bathrooms for each one, the kitchen and pantry have everything you need and the grounds are lovely. Best of all was the location though - so convenient for Champagne, Paris and Disneyland and just minutes from the main motorway. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Amazing place to stay for a Winter Holiday too!

6 of us (4 adults, 2 kids), spent a wonderful week over new year at Le Chanois. It's a beautiful and unique place to stay during the winter months, in an idyllic setting. We had great fun walking in the woods collecting wood for the fire, and enjoying cold nights in the hot tub gazing at the stars. The property has everything you could wish for to make it a comfortable and pleasant stay. Only 15 mins drive away from supermarkets, and the train station for trips to Paris. Camille is a such a kind and attentive host - she made us feel very welcome. In fact, we loved it so much, we immediately booked it for New Year 2016! Cant wait to go back :-)
