What more could you ask for?
Everything about Marty and the chateau is expansive and spectacularly memorable, and the love and flair with which he and Thierry have restored, decorated and furnished their home is heart-warming, as is the generosity with which they share it. The far-reaching views from their hill-top avenue are glorious: it would be very tempting to return and see their wonderful garden and grounds in all
the different seasons. Add to that a charming landscape dotted with mellow old villages and Romanesque churches, grazed by Charolais cattle and alive with birdsong: what more could you ask for?

Un havre de paix, avec un accueil exceptionnel, le tout dans un cadre magnifique
Lors de ma première visite en mai 2010, j'ai adoré ce lieu. J'ai trouvé un accueil chaleureux de la part de Marty, à la fois discret et aux petits soins pour ses hôtes. Je n'avais pas oublié ce château magnifique, où l'on se sens bien tout simplement et on se réveille dans la douceur des draps en écoutant le chant des oiseaux. Même les jours de pluie, se passent bien, le salon, la cheminée et les
jeux de société, et la bibliothèque vous tendent les bras pour passer un bon moment. Je suis retournée au Château de Vaulx en juillet 2013, et là encore c'était un émerveillement.... J'ai hâte de revenir...et de découvrir le gîte avec des amis cette fois.

What a find this place was!
We loved the Chateau de Vaulx. Located in the Charolais-Brionnais region of France, this wonderfully funky chateau is a perfect place for a romantic getaway. Still in the process of being restored, the available rooms are very large and clean with wonderfully updated bath facilities. We stayed in "La chambre Duchêne" which was very nice. Marty, the host and co-owner, is delightful and so willing to
explain the history of the Chateau and the restoration process. The scenery from the grounds was breathtaking, even on a rainy spring day. We would also recommend table d'hôtes -- Marty is an excellent cook -- with dinner served in the dining room with other guests. We thoroughly enjoyed sharing our meal with a delightful Dutch family. Breakfast is also served in the dining room and was very good.

Vaulx aurait été lié à la famille Choiseul jusqu’au XVe siècle. Selon l'abbé Claude Courtépée, Chizeuil serait une déformation de Choiseul.
