We stayed in this gorgeous chateau December 27, 2013 for one night so we could be near Verdun for exploring the WW1 battlefields. The chateau is around 10 minutes away from Verdun and seemed to be the nicest accommodation in the area as compared with the Verdun hotels. The chateau was used during the first world war as a hospital for American soldiers and was occupied by German troops during WW2, if only the walls could talk! Ghost hunters may have a heyday here, but we didn't experience anything paranormal during our stay. However, we had a wonderful and huge room for only 99 EU that overlooked the barn area. The restaurant served fabulous food that included extra tidbits like an amuse bouche of pork rillettes, a wonderful cheese table after dinner and a plate of assorted miniature pastries before desserts arrived. Dinner prices were comparable to any restaurant in France or the United States with prices for main courses averaging 25 EUROS. We used booking.com and feel that we got an exceptional value for the room. If you're interested in WW1 history as my teenage son was, then a trip to Verdun and a stay at this chateau is an ultimate historical experience. read more
