The smile of a sleeping beauty
Thanks to careful and loving restoration, the grounds and the castle
itself bring back to life the gentle and joyful spirit of the end
of 18th century. Both sober and ornate, sculptures, mosaics and
the gold leaf embossed ceillings have brought life to this engaging
residence that remained asleep so long. The effort to reclaim the
chateau has born fruit : the lawns lend themselves to relaxation
and to open-air receptions and a brand-new slate roof shines under
the Occitan sun.
Panelling, marble chimneys from Italy or from the Minervois region,
fine parquet floors, paintings and pleasant grey and blue decoration,
reveal the real face of this shining castle. Our guests all agree
that this Occitan manor welcomes you with a warm smile! At Saint
Michel de Lanes castle, charm and poetry await you under the impassive
stare of the stone godesses high above the entrance. Our village
also surprises its visitors with its mix of impressive houses, parks
open to the public and private gardens which stretch along its lanes.
