Domaine des Etangs

Auberge Resorts Collection is adding the historic French chateau, Domaine des Etangs, to its stable of managed properties, effective April 2023

Set in the heart of the Charente, less than 3 hours from Paris by train and 2 hours from Bordeaux, the Domaine des Etangs sprawls over 2,500 acres of protected nature, spread across forests, grassland, and ponds.

Domaine des Etangs, a sumptuous 11th-century French chateau set amid 2,500 acres of protected nature, forests, grasslands and seven tranquil lakes two hours from Bordeaux, has announced the commencement of a new chef.

Sydney-based sales contact Lea Seguier and Finnair co-hosted a group of Australian travel advisor partners on a France and Geneva trip in November, in cooperation with Eurail. The itinerary was designed to showcase Lea Seguier’s portfolio, which includes luxury hospitality group La Reserve hotels (Paris, Bordeaux, Ramatuelle, Geneva and next opening Zurich) and family-owned Domaine des Etangs (11th-century Chateau reconverted into a luxury five-star hotel) and Finnair which is the flag carrier and largest airline of Finland. Finnair provided round-trip business-class seats for the group, as well as valuing the combination of air and rail with the First Class train passes supplied by Eurail.
