Staying with Monsieur Sebastian at Chateau de Nazé is like visiting your favorite cousin. He is so friendly, his breakfasts are wonderful, and our room was better than we even imagined when we booked. The drive in the early evening through the wooded drive is enchanting. We felt like Louis 14 royalty in our carriage. The first view of the chateau from outside the moat just confirmed we had made the right choice. Once inside, we were wowed by the feeling of ancient genteelness in the best way.
If you are looking for an American style bland hotel room, this is not for you. But if you want an adventure in old time French joie de vivre, I promise you will agree with everything I wrote.
