The Experience

Turreted Montmirail has an absorbing history. Once a meeting place for kings, the castle was destroyed and rebuilt twice before its transformation into an elegant château by the Princess of Conti, daughter of Louis XIV.

Today, all is peaceful from its perch above the quaint town of Montmirail and endless bucolic countryside. It’s easy to see why the region is a favourite escape for urbane Parisians. You’re free to wander through the exquisite reception rooms with painted panelling, then go behind the scenes and climb the stairs to bedrooms where original features remain intact, charmingly restored with soft lighting, super beds and sparkling bathrooms.

Breakfast is a continental feast taken in the medieval kitchens around one large table, or al fresco on the view-filled terrace. Slip outside to fragrant gardens before exploring Le Mans, hunting for antiques and hidden treasures.

Location

The neighbourhood

At the foot of the castle is the owner's favourite restaurant, Le Chandelier, and you'll find more in the small town. By car, visit Chartres and its exceptional cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A little closer is the beautifully preserved medieval town of Le Mans, also home to a 24 hour race track. La Ferté-Bernard (15km) hosts the region's best market every Wednesday.

Local points of interest from Philippe Herbelin

The small character town of Montmirail is home to its eponymous castel. Enjoy an exceptional view on the Perche Sarthois and dive into a rich history from middle ages to the Renaissance and the 18th century.
It was the scene of a famous meeting on the 6th January 1169 between Henri II Plantagenêt, King of England, and Louis VII, King of France, in a bid to reconcile the King of England and his archbishop Thomas Becket.
In the hands of the English during the hundred Year War, it was destroyed by the King of France in 1421.
Owned by Marie de Melun, wife of Lord of La Palice, it is transformed by Marie Anne de Bourbon, who was none other the daughter of the King Louis XIV and mlle de la Vallière, the King's first official mistress.
Splendid reception rooms boasting régence furniture and remarkable heritage woodwork representing the five senses can now be visited.
Enjoy the view over the countryside in the garden and its salon de thé. Take you breakfast on the terrasse over the village or in front on a fire in the old kitchen.
