Chateau Mouillepied, Saint-Vaize

Superb riding paths with two hundred years old trees running along both sides lead to this 15th and 18th century country château that owes its unusual name to the springs spurting in the estate. The eight rooms and suites look onto the park, the ponds or terrace gardens. All are spacious with large windows, white walls, beams and period fireplaces. Martine and Pierre Clément oversee operations in this refurbished rural jewel with unending enthusiasm to satisfy their guests. Close to the banks of the River Charente, this delightful setting combined with the peace and quiet ensure that guests enjoy a relaxing stay in the countryside.
