This château is just five miles northwest of our house, in a village called Monthou-sur-Cher. It's had a new owner for the past few years and has been fixed up quite a bit since I took these photos. Le Gué-Péan was built as a hunting lodge in the 16th and 17th centuries, according to the guidebooks I have (Cadogan and Signpost). Its location in a verdant valley in the middle of a lush forest is attractive. The Cadogan guide calls it "a Sleeping Beauty of a castle."
