Between lake and forest- seasons- elements and complementary principles and senses- like the emblem of the Domaine- the dragonfly- here everything is about equilibrium and harmony. An enchanting chateau with fairytale turrets set in over 1000 hectares of woodland and waterways- there is a magical air to this luxury country retreat. The rooms and suites at Domaine des Etangs are scattered around the estate- within a chateau and a former barn and Metairie farm cottages. Now beautifully restored- they feature gnarled wooden beams- exposed stone walls and copper bath tub - a nod to the hotels past. Plus fluffy robes and the occasional dash of contemporary design. For the pinnacle of luxury- book a outstanding suite in the chateau or a private Metairie farm cottage to have your own lounge area and even an individual pond- garden or terrace. Inside and out there are plenty of quiet spots to enjoy the views - and to spot deer- heron and otters. Domaine des Etangs is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
