Château du Gibanel

Argentat, Dordogne, France

A stunning château, a shimmering lake – your own French estate to call home

  • Explore the lake in a kayak, pedalo or standing on a paddle board
  • Enjoy an al fresco supper with a takeaway from the parc’s restaurant
  • Keep little ones busy with a kids’ club treasure hunt or sports competition

It really doesn’t get more quintessentially French than this. From the shimmering lake and rolling green hills that surround you, to the enchanting 13th century château that overlooks the parc – Château du Gibanel provides a truly magical experience.

As peaceful as the estate feels, there’s plenty to do. The parc’s lake is the perfect setting for stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking or a gentle jaunt in a pedalo. While the inviting pool is just made for jumping in and cooling off before taking in the stunning Dordogne scenery from a sun lounger.

If on-land adventure is more your thing, the parc’s nestled in some gorgeous countryside to hike or ride. There’s also volleyball, handball and table tennis to be played if you’re feeling energetic.

With tranquillity and activity in equal measure, Château du Gibanel is a timeless holiday destination.
