Where to stay, visiting France :

G d'Alba 's advice

"When planning your holidays in France , you should obviously decide to stay a few days  in Paris .You also  "have to" see Versailles... The Castle of the Sun King...I suggest you spend a full day in Versailles .Many nice hotels can accommodate you...then spend a week in Loire Valley the "Garden of France"     Châteaux de la Loire en Français

You dream to sleep in The King's Bedchamber or in another Chateau de Versailles bedchamber...forget it...! But , if you can't rent Versailles Castle , there are in France many historic private castles welcoming   guests .You may even rent with friends or relatives a self catering castle , An apartment , or Cozy cottages 

You can be "The Lord of the Castle" for one week...

Take time to visit and enjoy the castles of the Loire Valley...Versailles is a very formal castle ...a political project , a symbol of Absolute Monarchy grandeur ...on the contrary , most of Loire Valley castles reflect "Douceur  de Vivre " ,  Renaissance of arts , Pleasures of life, Beauty ,Elegance, Love, Poetry,... Versailles is a huge ,  impressive castle...Loire Valley castles are Dream castles ...Fairy Tales Castles....

Not only you can visit historical castles , but you can also stay in a real castle ...the Chateau de La Guillonniere ...an unforgettable treat...ideal location for touring LoireValley , Poitou , Charentes

As a photographer ,film director and artist ...I offer you several  free sites with  300  castles ' photos I really made especially for you... I always liked  old historical buildings ...

I am a "castles' lover"...and also  a "castle owner"... I had the objective  to give life to the Chateau de La Guillonniere and share with people from around the world the rare pleasure of living here...I entirely renovated my castle and I am quite proud of the results !!!

Staying in my castle as a paying guest , you can visit all the sights pictured in my  "Amazing Castles "  web site... and many others...Fascinating Futuroscope  Park , Cognac vineyards, La Rochelle historic city, Atlantic coast , Atlantic Islands , Limoges china factories...
