Chateau Bellevue (Visit Bed and Breakfast website)
A classic French Chateau from 1878 situated within walled, very private secure gated parkland. Parking is freely available within the grounds. Accessible from airports (Bordeaux about 30 min, Bergerac about 1 hour, La Rochelle about 1 hour) and the A10 motorway Junction 38). The chateau was built in the neo-gothic style with architecture from the school of the renowned French master builder "Violet le Duc". It was sympathetically restored in 2000 with modern additional features including elegant bathrooms and under-floor heating. The interior is decorated with modern paintings by the owner. It is warm in winter and cool and airy in summer. There are 5 luxurious en-suite guest rooms and a further spectacular master suite. The ground and first floors comprise beautifully furnished spacious reception rooms with original fireplaces, marble and wood floors and elegant chandeliers. Presently arranged as dining room, salon, library and ballroom, they all have wonderful views over vineyards and the Gironde river. Together with the views from the terraces and gardens, a visit to the chateau will leave a truly memorable impression. A completely separate art workshop/studio (atelier for painting) is also available within the grounds. Within walking distance is the historic riverside village of Plassac with its Roman remains, and nearby there are Prehistoric paintings and further evidence of the area's fascinating Gallo-Roman history. Following the legend, France's very first vineyard emerged here, where the Romans started growing vine on the hill of Bellevue around 200BC and where today in a small quantity the exclusive "Château Bellevue" vine is privately produced. The chateau looks towards the region of the Medoc which is accessible by nearby regular ferry services from the delightful small town of Blaye (with its famous Citadel and markets to enjoy). Once across the river all the classic chateaux of the Medoc (Margeaux, Palmer and Lafite-Rothschild etc) are within easy reach and a further pleasant short drive reveals miles of sandy beaches on the Atlantic coast. Breakfast at the Chateau is carefully prepared to suit all tastes. Table d´hôtes on request. English, French and German languages are all spoken fluently and cheerfully. The Chateau Bellevue is a most unique location set in quiet parkland surrounded by high natural stone walls and offering complete privacy but unrestricted delightful views. A visit to Chateau Bellevue is a special experience. Because of the quality and style of the chateau, regrettably, it is unsuitable for small children.
