Château de Laumière

• Return to the list

The entrance to the castel is through an arch with machicolation, giving access to the wooded front park and the building.

8m/4m paved pool. A small, relaxing pool ideal for cooling off. It is recent and blends in well with its surroundings. Safety cover up to standard.

Accommodation

Ground floor: a large corridor leads to 4 adjoining lounges with chandeliers and wooden floors. Numerous mirrors and mirrors, family furniture with chinoiserie.

The last salon is an American billiard room with a fireplace bearing on its mantle the arms of the Viscount de Toulza, also reproduced on the stained-glass windows of the entrance door.

The end of the hallway leads to a 5th living-dining room, also known as the television room, with a large fireplace and fully-equipped modern kitchen overlooking the front of the park.

A large laundry room faces this lounge, with a service staircase.

The other end of the corridor gives access to a consecrated chapel and the spiral staircase leading to the upper floors and a toilet.

1st floor :

 4 large bedrooms with bathrooms, including 2 with private wc, served by a large corridor.

2nd floor:

4 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, one with wc and another wc on the upper floor.

Wooded front grounds with imposing trees several hundred years old, overlooking the fields and remains of the old volcano to the south and the Soulzon valley to the east, dominated by the Combalou de Roquefort rock.

Partially wooded backyard with a boxwood labyrinth overlooking the Cernon and Larzac mountains behind the pool.

Table tennis, boules, bicycles available.

1 large barbecue and a brazier for cool evenings.

Plenty of garden furniture: tables, chairs and deckchairs for meals and siestas in the shade.

*Chateau water is drawn from a spring 800 m upstream, treated and purified in the workshop before distribution.

Water for irrigation is supplied by a borehole.

The watchtower building on the left-hand side of the driveway is not available for rental, as it is independent and houses a janitor's apartment, as well as access to the vegetable garden.

The neighbouring farm is no longer part of the estate, but remains active with poultry, cows and sheep*.

In July, August and September, weekly rentals are preferred, with arrival and departure on Saturday, 5pm and 10am respectively.

This is an old-fashioned place for family reunions or friends in the countryside, with respect for the noise of the neighboring farmers.
