France, Rhone-Alpes, Saint-Didier-de-Formans, Chateau de Tanay


Quelle trouvaille!






Staying in this beautiful castle as stopover on our way to the South of France was THE best way to start a great holiday. Lovely room, lovely owners, lovely gardens, lovely swimming pool and... lovely chocolates on our pillow!

The place (little bit above Lyon) is charming and romantic, but also child friendly with a playing room and an enormous field for little boys to offload energy after a 8 hour car drive ; ) Actually just the way we like it, and affordable.They serve a wonderful breakfast but no table d'hote, fortunately there is a small restaurant just opposite to the castle and for some more serious dining L'Embarcadere in Villefrance sur Saone is a real treat. http://www.georgesblanc.com/uk/l-embarcadere-jassans-riottier.php#
