At one time, illustrious figures and the gentry were frequent visitors... Today, we carry on this same tradition of gracious hospitality with our 24 guest rooms, six of which are classed as "De Luxe". Overlooking the valley of the River Charente, Domaine du Breuil offers magnificent views of the countryside around Cognac. The château is set in over 17 acres of wooded parkland, thus guaranteeing your peace and tranquillity. In the morning, you can experience the pleasure of opening your shutters to take in the clear views of the banks of the River Charente and the green patchwork of vines beyond.Fri, 30 Jul 2010 23:04:33 +0200Symboles de France
