Chateau De Fere

Set in the romantic village of Fere-en-Tardenois in the province of Champagne, the castle welcomes guests from around the world with its elegant gardens and fine accommodation. There are actually two castles on the grounds. One, the Chateau de Fere was built in 1206 by Robert de Dreux, grandson of Louis VI. Now in ruins, it serves as a backdrop to the newer 16th century castle, the Hostellerie du Chateau. And now, this majestic fully restored hotel invites you to share its rich history.

The Chateau's magnificently appointed 6 apartments, 19 rooms and excellent conference facilities offer you luxury befitting a five star hotel. The superb dining room with its Photo of Cellars panelled walls, chandeliered ceilings, crystal and elegant silverware is a regional favourite. To complement the exquisite cuisine is a remarkable selection of 20,000 bottles of fine wine, housed in the labyrinth of tunnels below the Chateau. The guest suites are appointed with collectibles envied by those who appreciate the finer things. Tastefully arranged paintings, wall hangings, and lamps are matched to the grace of the Chateau itself. Modern luxuries include spa baths. A feast for the senses. A time for reflection . . . with service fit for kings.

At the Chateau de Fere Hotel you can do as much or as little as you choose. Revive your spirits over a game of tennis. Take to the air in a hot air balloon, or make a splash in our pool. Tee off on the neighbouring 18 hole golf course of L'Ailette or hunt (season permitting), horse ride, cycle or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll through the beautiful surrounding forests. And when you need to impress, the Hostellerie is the ideal conference, meeting or trade display venue. Amongst these pastimes there is of course another promise of enjoyment - the country of Champagne, with its traditional delights of local vineyards, historical buildings, fields of summer flowers and friendly locals. And nearby at Marne-la-Vallee, the fantasy and adventure world of Euro-Disney beckons the young, and the young at heart.
