Chateau de la Motte
Although the region has many attractions it is tempting to pass the time in the grounds of the chateau.

The Grounds

Tennis, swimming, ping pong, boules and a trampoline beckon the more active. The less active can stroll in the wood, fish in the moat, read by a stream or sleep in a hammock. Children can paddle in the stream or plot in the tree house.
A barbeque by the pool might involve everyone.

A small lake abounds in wildlife
