The Trincou Summer House (our self-catering Gite) is open from May to October. With its own private kitchen, two large bedrooms with bathrooms en suite, and large covered terrace overlooking the park, it is a wonderful haven for a private retreat for up to four people. Guests have full use of the Chateau’s grounds.

La Maison des Sabots (adjoining the Chateau) is open all year round for self-catering.  This renovated 18th century town house features two generous bedrooms, en suite bathrooms, magnificent kitchen, dining and sitting room, beamed ceilings and open fireplaces, as well as a superb terrace and beautiful garden with superb views of the Villars’ church steeple.

If you want to self cater (and you are coeliac/celiac), we can bake bread for you each day and provide you with certain gluten free flours and pastas which can supplement the wonderful fresh produce you will find at our local farms and markets.
