Chateau Brinon

We rearranged the living room...

So everyone could enjoy the ambiance

of the fire in the chimney

The living room

The living room: recto-verso exposure allows to enjoy the sunrise and sunset.  When weather gets cool  a big fire in the  chimney is waiting for you, specially appreciated for before or after dinner drinks, while some guest prefer playing pool.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas

In this time of good cheer, we would like to wish all our many good friends - old and new, together with all the great guests that have stayed with us here at Chateau Brinon (most of whom are now good friends too) an absoluteley fantastic Christmas and a very VERY happy new year. Come visit us whenever you can - we would love to see you.

Best Wishes for the season - Mike & Irene
