Amazing stay
Don't go into Chateau Paray-Le-Fresil expecting all the mod cons and luxury but embrace the history and character it provide. Fishing lakes on site provided days of entertainment. The pool was checked daily and is a welcome relief from the heat. The lovely owner lives on site and is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The village is very pretty and quiet, no shops or pubs walkable (maybe bikeable if you bring one with you) but plenty to do and visit in local towns and villages. Would absolutely recommend for getting away and staying in some genuine French history

Fantastische hide away
We hebben een heerlijke tijd gehad in het kasteel. Verwacht geen grootse luxe, maar wel charme, geschiedenis en vooral een waanzinnig mooi domein waar de rust onbetaalbaar is.

Lovely stay and view in historical surroundings
We enjoyed the stay in Paray and the castle very much. The property, with a nice view on the horses and a small lake,including the birds voices makes you awake in a good mood. There is all you need for a nice stay but don't expect perfection in luxus; it is an historical property and you have to respect that! The people who live on the estate, inclusive the owners, are friendly and interesting. We recommend a stay

week end familial dans un château chargé d'histoire
Nous avons séjourné dans un château orné d'un parc d'exception plein de ressources récréatives et de farniente bienfaisant, séjour orchestré par la capacité d'accueil d'Esmeralda et ses grandes capacités relationnelles... ça vaut le détour !!! Merci
Stayed 3 nights in May 2023
