Château d’Etoges, Champagne
|
Built at the beginning of the 17th century by the Counts of Anglure, Château d’Etoges, Champagne was a staging post for French monarchs whilst travelling to their eastern dominions. Today, surrounded by a moat, gardens and fountains, and in the midst of champagne vineyards, Château d’Etoges offers accommodation in the Champagne that provides a superb getaway from Paris. We highly recommend the Gourmet Escape Package for two nights indulgence. |
