Chateau Les Carrasses is a fairytale destination. Old meets new where contemporary comfort and design sits alongside historic original features. The more modern buildings offer spacious, tasteful accommodation for families - some with private pools or hot tubs. The huge heated swimming pool was a hit - as was the informal kids club which is focused on creative, open-air play
