Description from owner

Description

If you really want to get away of it all, for a while, come and stay at an unique hunting-lodge on a centuries old estate with its hilltop chateau, pigeonnier, park and pool in the CHAMPAGNE

The c h a t e a u (and, until the French Revolution abolished their privileges in 1792, the village of Villers as well together with several other villages and surrounding lands) belonged up to 1904 to the family of Adelbert von Chamisso (1781-1838), the famous French born, but German (!) poet , biologist, explorer (i.a. California) and creator of Peter Schlemihl, the story of the man who lost his shadow. Adelbert was in fact born and baptised as Adelaide de Chamisso at the chateau de Boncourt, publicly sold for demolition during the Revolution, hardly a mile away from this estate where his oncle lived and that survived these revolutionairy times.

The h u n t i n g l o d g e is part of a harmonious whole at an estate of 6 ha with a park, stables and other dependencies, and the XVI th / XVIII th century castle of Villers on a hill top with beautiful views on unspoilt countryside and forests.

It is situated above the valley of the river Aisne, at the entrance of a small village, Villers-en-Argonne, 9 km away from Ste Ménéhould, 35 km from Chalons-en-Champagne, 45 km from Verdun, 80 km from Reims and 200 km from Paris. In the heart of the historic Argonne forest with its many 1914-1918 war memorials.

The hunting-lodge is split into two autonomous wings:

The West Wing with 3 bedrooms sleeps 6 p.p., and

The East Wing with 2 bedrooms sleeps 4 p.p.

Each wing has its own entrance. It is let separately (I. East Wing 120 m2 + II. West Wing 80 m2) or together ( I & II = 200 m2).

It is luxuriously restored and fully equipped, with antique furniture, open fireplaces, a stunning kitchen in App.I, which is more basic in App.II, garden furniture, picnic corner with children playground (swing, climbing tower, etc.),various games, bicycles (age 3 - 18), a topclass tabletennis facility, and barbecues. Moreover, guests of App.I have exclusive access to the castle park and the stunning new 10x5 m swimming pool there.

Response from the owner Many thanks Mike, for writing this excellent report of your and your family's stay at the hunting lodge in New Years week. It was such exceptionnally lousy weather this time.
