General Info

Whether looking for a stopover on your way south or a holiday in a chateau, we are perfectly located to enjoy all that the Cher Valley and the Berry Region has to offer. The Chateau is in the picturesque village of Charly; a stream runs through the centre of the village lined with weeping willows.

The Area Surrounding The Property / Accommodation

The interesting medieval town of Bourges is almost the geographical centre of France and is the perfect location for a holiday in a chateau. The town is filled with a wealth of restaurants, bars and cafes lining its cobbled and winding streets. 'Son et Lumiere' is a free lights and music show, which you can wander round on a warm summer evening. The region is well known for its produce, namely wine and goat’s cheese. Stop by one of the many vineyards around the picturesque hill top town of Sancerre and try some of the wine. This area has a large variety of interesting Chateaux – from small and private to grand and open to the public. For those interested in a more active holiday the Cher Valley has much to offer. The world famous Formula 1 French Grand Prix Circuit at Magny Cours is about 40 minutes drive. There are five golf courses within easy driving distance of the Chateau. The countryside is fantastic for cycling.
