Rising unexpectedly in the middle of the gorge, this château comes complete with fortified towers, landscaped gardens, flagstone halls and even the odd suit of armour. Rooms are split between the main castle (some with bathrooms inside the turrets) and the Maison de Martine, a smaller house positioned across the gardens with stylish suites and four-person apartments.
The château has its own private beach, spa, gym and heated swimming pool, and there's a renowned gourmet restaurant (menus from €25). Wi-fi works in the common areas only.
