The Château de la Caillotière is a private family home in excellent condition and decorated exclusively with fine antiques. Guests will have the exclusive use of the château.

On the ground floor, the entrance hall opens onto the "salon rouge". It is a very nice room to relax, with French windows on both sides of the room and a direct access to the terrace. Small groups of armchairs here and there offer places to read, listen to music or play card-games.

 

The "grand salon" is a majestic reception room, with wood panelling, XVI century tapestries from the famous Gobelins manufactory, a marble chimney, a crystal chandelier, antiques and ancestors portraits. This vast room (50 square meters) is said to have been built "around" the beautiful Spanish carpet, which adorns the parquet. Plenty of wood will be provided if the guests wish to use one of the chimneys of the ground floor.

The dining room is very large and can seat up to twenty-two guests when the table is extended. Its walls are covered with tapestries and yellow silk damask for a dramatic backdrop to the antiques and the collection of green and white vases brought back from China by the owners.

Less grand, but equally useful, guests will find on this floor, adjoining the formal dining room, a small kitchen with all the amenities.

 

 

 

In addition, on the other side of the house, they will find a brand new large kitchen with all the amenities one can dream of to cook like a chef (large central island with a granite countertop, stainless appliances, 6 burner gas hob…).

 

The new kitchen leads into a redecorated informal dining room-cum-library.

On the ground floor, children also have their own corner with books, games, puzzles. Additionally in the basement they will a find a room with a table tennis.

 

All the bedrooms, that sleep 13 people, are situated on the second floor and are furnished with antiques. There are 4 bedrooms with queen size beds:

The "chambre des dames", recently redecorated with a bright yellow and blue wallpaper.
This bedroom has a large en-suite bathroom (pink Toile de Jouy on the walls and soft white carpet on the floor).

The "chambre des illustres" with a breathtaking view onto the park has an en-suite new shower room.

The "chambre des oiseaux" where many books in French and in English are available to the avid reader, is decorated with old engravings of birds and benefit from the morning light.

The "chambre bleu" with its exotic bleu birds on the wallpaper has an en-suite bathroom (toilets are independent).

There are 2 bedrooms with single beds.

The "chambre des anges", recently redecorated in yellow and green, has two single beds and since it occupies the exact centre of the château it has the best view on the "jardin à la française".

The "chambre Empire" decorated in the Empire style with a striking antique wallpaper, has three single beds and a large en-suite bathroom (blue Toile de Jouy on the walls and soft blue carpet on the floor).

Finally, on the third floor, there is a little chapel with a vaulted ceiling and an original trompe l'oeil wallpaper.

The original servant quarters on the top floor and the attic are not for rent.
