Château de Bellefontaine
Clean room and amazing venue- felt very special to stay in such a nice place. Was upgraded to famil apartment however this was looking old and tired, but very good space. Comfy bed and good heating. Nice to have a bath in room. Dinner was a let down- save your money and eat at the various places ...
