Our Château
Set within six hectares of private parkland in the rolling countryside of southwest France, Château Degay is an elegant 18th-century estate offering refined comfort, privacy and timeless French charm. With beautifully appointed bedrooms and panoramic views across open landscapes, it provides a setting designed for rest, celebration and connection.
After many happy years holidaying in France, and a lifelong love of its interiors, food and wine, we became the proud custodians of this remarkable château. Lovingly restoring its character while introducing modern comforts, we are delighted to share this special place — whether for private hire or one of our curated retreats — and invite you to experience the relaxed rhythm of rural French life.
