Château du Plessis

The Château du Plessis is a lovely, aristocratic country home. The Plessis has been in Valerie Benoist-Renoul's family since well before the Revolution, but the antiques throughout the home are later acquisitions of her great-great-great-great-grandfather. The original furnishings were burned on the front lawn by revolutionaries in 1793. Furnishings throughout the home are elegant, yet the Renouls have established an atmosphere of homey comfort. Artistic fresh-flower arrangements abound and you can see the cutting garden from the French doors in the salon that open onto the lush grounds. The well-worn turret steps lead to the beautifully furnished accommodations. In the evening a large oval table in the dining room provides an opportunity to enjoy the company of other guests and the country-fresh cuisine. Dinner is a wonderful four-course meal. Advance reservations must be made. Valerie, along with her husband Laurent, take great pride in her home and the welcome they extend to their guests. Valerie and Laurent are pleased to carry on the tradition of service and welcome established by her parents.
