ACCOMODATION DETAILS
The house is a renovation and conversion of part of a 17th century building that was originally designed to be the entrance to a Cour d'Honour. In the middle of the 19th century it was converted into a stable block with accomodation above. In 2002 we bought half the stable block and converted it into 3 floors of living accomodation.
Please note: Chateau La Trousse is not a holiday resort. It is a privately owned estate (owned jointly by 34 families) the majority of homes are used exclusively by the owners - our house is one of only 10 available to rent. The Owners have created a family friendly environment ideal to rest, relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the estate. Renters are made to feel welcome and in return we ask that you respect the aims of the ownership while you enjoy your holiday at the estate.
Our neighbour has other properties available to rent within the Cour with 1,2 and 4 bedrooms. Please contact us and we can send you photographs of the accomodation you would be renting, inform you of rates and availability and arrange the booking for you.

To the left is the Moat, now dry and grassed, with it’s stone work bridge and 4 sleeping lions and beyond the Moat is the Chateau.
