Domaine du Châtelard
Restaurant
Nestled in 80 hectares of wood and meadows, the Domaine du Châtelard is an 18th century manor house, overlooking a private lake, where you receive an authentic and easy-going welcome as though you were at home. Our 11 charming rooms were developed in keeping with the history of the house, each with its own décor. The owners, Pascale and Ivan, moved in with the aim of respecting the nature which proceeded them in this Natura 2000 certified site. They warmly welcome their guests in this peaceful setting, where time stands still, allowing them to benefit from a unique environment with all the mod cons. Ivan, the chef treats the guests to produce from the estate, from Charente and from elsewhere; this gives rise to surprising combinations full of finesse.

Ivan, the chef, originally from Denmark, is a member of the JRE network (Young Restaurateurs - a European young chef association).
