My wife and I scheduled a 3 night stay at Chateau de la Barre during the beginning of our honeymoon in July. Upon arrival, I made the crucial mistake of thinking that they would have an automatic car for me at the Europcar rental place near Vendome. The attendant called Marnie at the Chateau and it was arranged that we... More

We are two couples who spent two nights with Guy and Marnie in early October. I say it this way because we did feel that we were more like guests in their private home than in a hotel. This chateau has been in Guy's family for over 600 years and he and Marnie made our stay one of personal revelations... More

I really can't imagine a better "chateau" experience than our two night stay. Marnie and Guy were perfect hosts that almost seemed so well done we thought everything was scripted.

It was truly a unique experience! It was the first time my mom and another two friends coming to visit Europe. I took them to the Chateau de la Barre as it was recommended by a friend. The three days in the Chateau de la Barre became the highlight of this trip. Far away from the noisy city, drive into... More

The highlight was gathering coulemelle (giant) mushrooms in the woods with Guy to have with our dinner that evening, delicieux! It's a little... More

Communication with the chateau throughout the booking process was very easy and helpful. The only suggestion for travellers is to book early so you can pick the rooms you like. We arrived the chateau relatively... More

We just returned home yesterday after a three night stay at the beautiful Chateau de la Barre. I can not say enough good things about our stay there. From the first moment after I made our reservation, Guy and Marnie were very quick to respond, and gave us a wonderful itinerary for our drive from Normandy to the Chateau. Before... More
