Everything! This beautiful Chateau is a real find and truly authentic, having been lovingly and sympathetically restored within the last 20 years or so. A great location with a local bus-link twice daily, and close to other destinations.
Free parking on site.
Ideal for couples, groups and families and with a small kitchen for self-catering.
Bear in mind, the property dates as far back as 5th century ( Basement) and 15th/16th Century for the body of the Chateau. There are wide stairs ( surfaces can be uneven as worn over time) It’s 5 flights to the top of the central tower, there is no ground floor, from the entrance hall it’s either up one flight to the dining room, or down to the basement which has a table tennis table.
Three flights up from the entrance hall is a lounge and games room with a billiard table, and two further flights up are 3 rooms.
Other rooms are accessed via the dining room or doors in the wings of the chateau.
We stayed in ‘Cone d’or’ which was a very large and beautiful room with a large bed, two further beds, plenty of chairs and sofas, a tv, kitchen and en-suite.
The shower was great, with instant hot water.
The room has some of the oldest oak timbers in the building
Avanton is a very typical tranquil French village. Having some french is helpful.
A short walk away from the chateau is a small central group of shops, walk right at the war memorial outside the chateau, across the island and turn right at the next island by the statue of The Virgin Mary ( on the left on the opposite side of the island to the graveyard)
Keeping the graveyard on your left, walk to the next junction (follow the road) and turn left, walk past the bus-stops, restaurant, and the shops are ahead on the right, including:
A butcher with a superb range of meat, charcuterie, wine, cheese and pre-prepared dishes, great for self-catering.
Situated north of Poitiers, with easy access from the E05/A10 motorway and the N10 national road, Premiere Classe Poitiers Futuroscope - Chasseneuil is a short drive from the Futuroscope multimedia...

Right in the heart of the city. Parking on site. Close to restaurants and shops. Quiet. Good breakfast.
The apartment is big and comfortable, it has 2 separate bedrooms ( on the 1st floor) and a living room/ open kitchen on the ground floor. It is located approx 10 drive from the Futuroscope (which is greater value compared to standard hotels in the area). The Gite has parking area and small outside area- both are very enjoyable. The hosts are very nice and pleasant to deal with. We enjoyed our stay.
Extraordinary place - most places that look like a castle don't feel like a castle when you get inside. Château d'Avanton is truly authentic, it has not been 'modernised' and so keeps all its character. But it's very comfortable, has everything you'd need (and more). Great breakfast and a super welcome from Madame. A really exceptional place to stay.
I had the pleasure of staying at the beautiful Château d’Avanton for a night. The hostess Vivianne was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The room I had was beautiful and well-appointed, making for a comfortable stay. Also the breakfast was exceptional! I can highly recommend this B&B!
Can’t speak highly enough of this lovely chateau/hotel. All mod cons whilst retaining all the character of the chateau. I absolutely loved it and will be returning.
