By transforming two years ago the Chateau du Palanquey into a guest house we wanted to rethink our family life with more balance and osmosis with our values. The Palanquey is indeed the antipodes of our first life exposed to stress and the speed of urban life. We have therefore put the emphasis on Slow Life in order to better realize ourselves and we are happy to share with you this way of life and you will quickly become true gourmets of the senses. "We are born greedy. The real gourmet is the one who enjoys a slice of butter like a grilled lobster, if the butter is fine and the bread is well kneaded". - Colette -
