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.
