If Proust had known about Tout La Ville Chateau,
he would not have hesitated to settle here to
write, drawing his inspiration while sitting in
the light of the large windows or in the shade
of the century old Beech Tree. However, it was
his friend, the painter Jacques Emile Blanche,
contemporary of Corot, one of the original Impressionists,
who stayed here during the summer. Only
when you have seen the Chateau with its splendid
black and grey flint frontage, contrasted
against a russet-red spectacular roof crowned
with coloured ceramic statues, can you
understand how artists have always drawn inspiration
from a certain idea of harmony.

Undoubtedly,
the Chateau, which dates from the 17th and
19th century, is an ideal place to absorb
the romanticism and the dreaminess of the hours
passing by. There is plenty of fantasy to be found
on the east side of the Chateau where the carved
woodwork is worthy of any Venetian palace.
And,
while your host Isabelle is a fountain of knowledge
on her Chateau's secrets, she also knows how to
communicate all its poetry and atmosphere to make
your stay an unforgettable one.
