Le Château de Floure ★★★★

In stylish rooms bursting with character, traditional décor intertwines with modern amenities. From ornate furnishings to bespoke lighting, these tasteful suites exude elegance and provide a unique setting to unwind. Sumptuous double beds invite you to rest between cotton soft sheets and promise to envelop you in sweet sleep. Further relaxation awaits in the indoor heated pool, jacuzzi, and spa area. Here, you can indulge in a refreshing and rejuvenating treatment.

Outside your window, the vivid greenery omnipresent in the gardens has regained its beauty from yesteryear. The fresh air of the countryside welcomes you with open arms and entices you to walk through the adjacent French Park or swim in the cooling turquoise waters of the outdoor pool. There are also tennis courts for use to play games under the warm glow of the sun.

Inside the hotel, there are three stunning lounges and a refined restaurant, each presenting a different style. Flooded with natural light, the Alaric Salon opens onto a sun-soaked terrace and offers panoramic views of Mount Alaric. The Bergère Salon oozes romance with paintings from 1762, while the Calmettes Salon serves up a delicious breakfast behind large and luminous bay windows in a leisurely lounge. Named in honour of the writer Gaston Bonheur, the previous owner of the house, the Lost Poet restaurant serves regional cuisine using local and seasonal produce.

The castle’s proximity to the medieval city makes it the perfect place to stay. Just far out enough to escape late night city noise and the hustle and bustle of traffic, but still within walking distance, this hotel is ideally situated. So, whether you wish to walk the crumbling walls and the ramparts of the majestic castle in town or stroll along the marina on the Canal du Midi nearby, exploration is at your fingertips.
