Characterful guest rooms in the Allier
The floors at Le Creux creak in the same places as they did in the 19th century. Nicolas-Martial Foacier, architect to the King at Versailles, enlarged it and surrounded it with courtyards in the 1770s for the Fougières family. The Nicolay family has lived here since 1837. It is neither a hotel nor a museum: the château has no spa and no gourmet restaurant; people come for something else.
There are three options. The group cottage : the Maison du Régisseur, the estate steward’s former residence, taken as a whole for ten people, by the weekend, week or month. The guest room : one of the five rooms of that same house, for two people, or a room in the château. Private hire : the château and its park for a wedding or celebration, by quote only. Each option has its own page, so they are not confused.
Vallon-en-Sully is in the Bourbonnais, three hours from Paris. In the morning, the Tronçais forest is nearby. In the afternoon, the Aumance runs along the park. We describe these outings in our regional guide.
