A super lovely place to end our holiday!

We stayed at the Chateau for two nights in September of 2018 and the experience was lovely. La Pommeraye is a beautiful French Manor house, out in the Swiss Normandy countryside. The decoration of the house was stunning with art work comfort. The owner was a great host and you got a feeling of being his guest instead of being in a hotel. Very recommended, peaceful luxury, you will not regret it!

We stayed at this exquisite property for three nights. The accommodations and the architecture were exquisite; the service was impeccable, and the food warranted the highest Michelin rating. Proprietor and gourmand chef, Alexandre Boudnikoff, made our time there one of the best experiences we have ever had anywhere in the world and we would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a refined experience in a serene country setting.

Stunning location, beautifully restored chateau. We had the most marvellous stay in sumptuous rooms. The immaculate accommodation was matched by the friendly welcome. Highly recommended. Already planning a return visit.

We had a wonderful stay at Chateau de la Pommeraye. The chateau is beautifully renovated and decorated - it is clear a lot of love has been put into it. The bathtub in our room was enormous and the perfect way to end a long day touring Mont St. Michel and Granville. Alexandre recommended great restaurants and the breakfasts were delicious, but our favorite meal was the late dinner Alexandre made us after we were delayed due to traffic on our way from Paris to the chateau. Highly recommend.

Château de Foix

The Château de Foix dominates the town of Foix. An important tourist site, it is known as a centre of the Cathars. Built on an older 7th-century fortification, the castle is known from 987. In 1002, it was mentioned in the will of Roger I, Count of Carcassonne, who bequeathed the fortress to his youngest child, Bernard. In effect, the family ruling over the region were installed here which allowed them to control access to the upper Ariège valley and to keep surveillance from this strategic point over the lower land, protected behind impregnable walls.

In 1034, the castle became capital of the County of Foix and played a decisive role in medieval military history. During the two following centuries, the castle was home to Counts with shining personalities who became the soul of the Occitan resistance during the crusade against the Albigensians.
