The weather is super lately!
These are getting bigger and better every year 😍🌺
Chateau de Bruges is starting the journey to move towards hosting weddings 👰🏻♀️🤵🏻
Because this is a new adventure that we are all so keen to begin, we are looking for intimate wedding parties searching for a charming castle set amongst the beautiful countryside in central France.
Take advantage of the 5 luxury bedrooms all with private en-suites, large grounds and swimming pool all weekend.
If this sounds like you, please get in touch and enquire about our packages 🤍
Thank you to our beautiful wedding couple, who had their wedding photos on our grounds, for allowing us to share these moments. We wish you a wonderful marriage 💕 Love team Bruges x
Turrets… We have 2 circular turrets and 1 square one! The first circular turret houses the magnificent staircase featuring the new ‘hedgehog’ chandeliers. The square turret houses toilet rooms on all floors and the final circular turret is connected to some of our bedrooms! All used for different purposes, but all with great charm 💫
Lapeyrouse lake is a beautiful and tranquil space, ideal for walking 🌊
But did you know… We now have new management at the snack bar down there for lunch and dinner all week 👏🏻
We visited last Friday evening for food (and Saturday lunch 🙈) and we give it the 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great to see it thriving! I am sure many of our guests will experience the pleasure there too!
Hand crafted room key rings by ❤️ thank you we love them so much, too cute!
They look great and YES we know they are BIG, but it stops people from accidentally taking them home 😉😉
What do you think? 🔑
How incredible is our fountain now!!!! ⛲️
We believe it used to be a working water fountain once before, so it was a must to bring it back to life! Swipe for the before, if you dare …..
This is a much better first impression as guests enter the chateau, we are very proud and happy with our vision and end result 😁 we do intend to add the top bowl, but this was in much need of repair so is undergoing some TLC 💕
We are taking 2025 holiday bookings for families and friends to gather for a summer holiday, birthday or anniversary with exclusive use of the entire chateau and the grounds for 7 nights or more!
Boasting 3 double rooms, 1 king bedroom, 1 family bedroom and additional beds if required, a large kitchen and dining room, grand salon and relaxing pool with furniture.
Central France is a perfect location to meet, situated in the rural countryside in our charming Chateau. Please enquire via the website for more information on booking!
So many amazing evening meals being prepared this week for so many of our guests! It’s a very enjoyable experience getting to dine with different people from different countries every evening! If you’d like to taste the food here at Chateau de Bruges, take a look on our website to book your stay! 🍽️
What a wonderful gift from two of our returning guests 🥰 these will sit pride and place at the entrance with some colourful flowers inside. Thank you very much and we hope you have another wonderful stay! See you again in a week! Can you guess the nationality? 😜
Afternoons on the terrace offer a calm and relaxing environment in the sun … or shade for our guests! When we get down time, this is our go to spot and the pets of course! 🐾
Look at the pretty detail in the centre of the fountain once it was cleared out of water and debris! Fingers crossed for the fountain project … maybe a little more difficult than we first thought … 🤞🏻
What a beautiful morning here at the chateau ☀️
UPDATE! ⛲️
We are underway with restoring the water fountain in main courtyard at the chateau!!!!!!!
We are excited to see the end result and will keep you updated! 😜😜
More happy guests leaving us this morning 🥰 ☀️ thank you for sharing your evening with us and for your beautiful review! See you next time!
P.s. If you’re wondering why Graham isn’t mentioned, he’s currently spending some time with family in the UK. 🙈🥰
Weeks still available for a summer holiday in the gite:

1st July - 7th July
☀️☀️☀️☀️
FINALLY… Introducing the newest room at the Chateau. 💙
Louis room, named after a former owner of the property, who visited last summer and told us this room was where he used to sleep. Louis and his family told many stories and shared happy memories of their time as owners of Chateau de Bruges 🥰
We saw Louis’ family recently and they were very moved by how we have paid homage to his time here.
This room has been designed for families, boasting a huge king bed and two large sofa beds. Although, they can be easily converted back into two sofas for guests wanting to benefit from a more spacious room.
The expansive private en suite boasts an exquisite walk in shower and separate sink and toilet area to ensure privacy whilst maintaining efficiency for families.
Head over to our website to book your stay! 💙

Breakfast platter of dreams 💭 🧀
A dip in the pool anyone? ☀️ 💦 LOVING the new sun loungers, parasols and tables… Of course someone had to test they work perfectly for our guests 😜 See you in the summer, visit our website to book 🥰
Did you know we serve 3 course dinners for our guest?
Here at the chateau we offer a table d’hôtes service which is a meal with your hosts at the family dining table. It’s a very welcoming concept that a large majority of guests opt in for and have a wonderful evening!
We hope to see many more guests dining with us this summer ☀️
Happy Sunday 🥰🥰
Appreciation post … ❤️
These stunning paintings were done by the wonderful and talented Yvonne. She captured the salons colours perfectly and they stand out against the muted backdrop. We are totally in love with them and you as an artist!
Thank again from us all at Chateau de Bruges ❤️ we will back for more 😉
🍋 DEVINE 🍋 guests (and us) are loving these home made mini meringues 😍
🪄✨ HALLWAY ✨🪄
Introducing the newly decorated hallways on the first floor. These hallways are now a more inviting and cosy space for guests to be welcomed into the rooms.
The colours are harmonious, changing in different light ☀️ Our epic murals also give the walls some personality and hopefully a talking point!
It seems a difficult space to capture on photo, so it’s best to see in person 😉 Book now! Swipe for before!
Progress has resumed again 😍😍 A lot wanting to be achieved by Friday, the race is on! 👍🏻
Always proud to show guests our sparkling staircase 😍 🌟 🌈 come and see them for yourself… Find the link to our website in the bio. 👋🏻

A trailer for the most highly anticipated Chateau de Bruges Video EVER! Follow Danielle’s EPIC journey taking a neglected French style armchair and restoring it to its former glory to sit proudly in a newly renovated bedroom at our 16th century castle, Chateau de Bruges. Available on your screens from the 25th December 2022! "Follow me, Danielle, on my first upholstery project, taking a neglected French style armchair and restoring it to its former glory. With struggles and triumphs along the way, I am really proud of how the chair turned out and what I have learnt and accomplished on the journey. I am by no means a professional and this is not to be used as a teaching resource. This video is purely for entertainment purposes and supporters of the Chateau de Bruges journey to watch the entire process from start to finish, in one place. Enjoy!"

Bon weekend! This Thursday we had a whole day dedicated to spending time at the lake in Lapeyrouse to celebrate Bastille day, a public holiday in France. We were told Lapeyrouse does it well and it was proved right! The day consisted of food, competitions, socialising and to end the night music, dance and a great fireworks display. More footage of the day to come very soon!
