Sleep once like a film star! This house once belonged to Catherine Deneuve - and is now a romantic hotel

An old fairytale lock is about an hour's drive from Paris, between green hills and deep forests. Right on the banks of yours, it is surrounded by lush gardens, roses and moats. A princess does not live there, but at least it was the home ofCatherine Deneuve.

Today we can move in here, at least for one night. Because the Hoteliers Guillaume Foucher and Frédéric Biousse took the castle under the name "Primard" as a seventh location in their "Les Domaines de Fontenille" hotel series and made it out of itRelais & Châteaux.To do this, they converted the manor house from the 18th century into a five-star reefutum with 40 rooms, three restaurants and a spa. The backdrop of water noise and bird singing plays an overarching role here - because everything is based on nature all around. The romantic garden designed the landscape architect Jacques Wirtz over 30 years ago, who also designed the Carrousel du Louvre and the Tuilerien gardens. And Monet is also a neighbor. Primard is only 20 minutes from Giverny, the house and garden of Claude Monet.

“The entire garden was created by the former owner Catherine Deneuve. We wanted to get him in their sense. We also have the historic greenhouse, ”said Guillaume Foucher to Elle Decoration. “For everyone who knows her, she is omnipresent in Primard. However, we do not refer to them, neither directly nor indirectly. But if you walk through your garden, inhale the scent of the roses, be enchanted by the play of light on the river or admire the colors of the sneezing root in winter, the elegance and simplicity of the woman who has created this garden will be omnip. "

There are no certain rooms or areas that were specially designed in honor of Catherine Deneuve in the 18th century house. "We only found out the famous name of the previous owner after we fell in love with the house," said Foucher. The new owners also brought the magic of the 20 hectare garden inside. Natural motifs are often repeated in the rooms in a wonderful way: mushrooms sprout in the living room, snails climb up the walls and flowers seem to grow from the ceiling.

The interior is particularly and extremely exclusive. Only the largest French names were allowed to move into the dream lock: Sofas by Pierre Frey, dishes by Gien, Isabelle Poupinel and Sylvie Coquet and tables from Faïencerie de Charolles and Maison Sarah Lavoine. Everyone who now also wants to sleep for a few nights like Sleeping Beauty and eat in "Tischlein Deck yourself" can book a double room in the French fairytale castle. And like Catherine Deneuve as well as Catherine.

Hereit goes to the hotel.
