Uniquely Spacious,
Beautifully Historical.

We offer 3 spacious guest rooms, 2 suites and 1 gîte, to give you
a unique experience to stay at the Chateau du Gue Aux Biches.

Chateau du Gue aux Biches

Chateau du Gue aux Biches is beautifully situated on a hill in a 13-hectare private nature park surrounded by the La Foret des Andaines National Park but at the same time only 1 km from the town of Bagnoles.

The history of the chateau goes back a long way but Albert Christophle implemented the biggest changes after he bought the place in 1868 as a hunting lodge. He was the Minister of Public Works in France and the creator of the town of Bagnoles as we know it today. He was also the mayor and initiator of the very well-preserved Belle Époque neighbourhood of the town.

In 1907 to 1908 the chateau was completely remodeled

In 1907 to 1908 the chateau was completely remodeled and significantly expanded by the son of Albert Christophle. In 2017, we were fortunate enough to buy the château and have worked purposefully to renovate it with respect for the history and the original details to bring it back to its former greatness. In August 2020, we moved permanently to France to pursue our common dream and create a unique home where we look forward to welcoming you as our guests.

Excellent Stay

I couldn't be more complimentary about our stay. Friendly, welcoming, helpful and made to feel at home. The room was clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. The chateau itself is breath taking and is set in beautiful grounds. Excellent sleep in a peaceful setting, comfy bed/pillows with high quality bedding. The breakfast was very yummy. We have already booked to return in March. Can't recommend enough.

Dream vacation

An absolutely enchanting property with exceptionally gracious hosts. The surrounding area resembles a park that you'd never want to depart from. The meticulously restored property evokes the feeling of being a member of a royal family residing in a secluded chateau. Additional bonus - a Micheline quality dinner recommendation nearby.

Dejligt sted

Historic house magnificently restored providing the warmest welcome and comfort

Everything was excellent. The chateau and grounds are remarkable. However our hosts Sorrin and Klaus were magnificent. We could not have asked for more kindness and warmth. It is a superb place to stay. The region has much to offer too.

A beautiful getaway in a place with history

So many great things! Soren and Klaus are wonderful hosts, going out of their way to make us comfortable and great conversationalists. The breakfast is absolutely amazing, and Bagnoles is a charming town a short bike ride away.

Helt igennem fantastisk

Meget hjemligt og med hjælp til alt hvad man kunne ønske sig. Helt igennem fantastiske værter.

Wonderful green stay in exceptional castle setting

The Chateau is beautifully located on top of a hilly meadow, in a wonderful park that you can admire while driving up the lane - all the more so when you do this on a bike! ;-) The gorgeous interiors are carefully renovated in an authentic style. The Danish hosts are attentive to your every need, even beyond the usual! They also care for the interaction of their guests with each other (for example with a joint apéro moment, for those willing) or with the monument itself (we could benefit of a guided tour on the Chateau, its history and renovation). Breakfast is delicious, with a wealth of local products (including honey from the park's own beehives). Such excentric location is obviously a bit distant from the centre of Bagnoles, but a powerful electric bike of the Chateau will get you there easily, if you wish! Worthwhile to mention that the owners have also made substantial efforts to make the exploitation of the Chateau green and sustainable for the local environment.

Discovering Normandie

We stayed for 3 days. After long flight and 2.5hr drive from Paris we were tired and welcome glass of red wine made us feel personal attention. The room is quite big and feels very authentic, all plaster work on ceiling and walls os outstanding, furniture is antique but sturdy, only bed, windows and shower (which is excellent) were new, the rest was carefully restored. Chateau is quite big, but living area is the second floor only, first floor has plenty of huge rooms (4?) where guests have delicious breakfast (cheese from local farms, their own honey, jams, home made baguets, etc). Everything is restored and renovated, but has nice antique furniture, original old paintings, big old mirrors. Chateau is located in quite large gated park with pond and has few other buildings. Klaus and Soren (hosts) have all the information about restaurants, events, attractions you might need and booked for us local restaurants. There are Michelin stars restaurants and others simpler, but food is great everywhere and price is reasonable. in Michelin resto (two 5 course menus and bottle of wine was 100 euros). Tonight you can see many stars due to very clean air and being away from big cities. On the last day Klaus gave us historical tour in the chateau. It appears that they have huge basement with restored hunting room, other rooms are in the renovation process, and also there is other part of the building used by servants long time ago - also in the renovation. After that we really appreciated amount of work and taste of ours hosts. Chateau was famous since XIX, Alexandre Dumas visited it few times. We love our stay and definitely come back.

Alt var perfekt! Tusind tak

Alt! Klaus og Søren var meget imødekommende, hjælpsomme og var med til at gøre vores ophold og ferie til noget helt særligt. Vi kan kun anbefale et ophold og vi kan selv skrive under på, at en enkelt overnatning ikke er nok. Hjemmefra havde vi kun booket enkelt overnatning, men vi blev hurtigt enige om, at blive 2 nætter yderligere. Aldrig har et sted, så langt hjemmefra, følt så hjemmeligt. Rammerne omkring slottet og værterne gør det til et skønt sted at opholde sig. Klaus og Søren var gode til at tage sig af os og sørge for anbefalinger til spisteder og udflugter. Vi kørte til Mont Saint Michel, gik en tur op i byen, spiste på gode restauranter, løb en tur i området, og ellers nød vi bare opholdet i haven med en bog. Morgenmaden var også rigtig god og selv under morgenmaden blev der taget rigtig godt af os. De bedste hilsner Rikke og Damian

Mit ophold var vidunderligt. Jeg følte mig hjemme fra begyndelsen. Jeg kommet helt sikkert til at vende tilbage. Jeg giv

Jeg har aldrig før oplevet så fantastisk et sted som dette. Udover stedets skønhed og enestående beliggenhed, var værtsparrets måde at være på helt unik. Man føler sig som en del af familien, og jeg vil helt klart anbefale at man bor på stedet flere dage. Således at man virkelig når at opleve stedets fulde potentiale.

Et hyggeligt og eventyrligt ophold

Smukt og eventyrligt slot - et ophold i eksklusive og luksuriøse rammer. Søren og Klaus er det perfekte værtspar som ikke alene har skabt et smukt og eventyrligt slot men også skaber en hyggelig og afslappende atmosfære.

Stunning chateau set within beautiful scenery

Beautiful French chateau that has been lovingly and thoughtfully restored by the present owners. We can only imagine it getting better and better as Klaus and his partner continue to develop this wonderful building. We’ll be back!

Chateau du Gue aux Bisches is a magical place and it is hard to overstate the beauty of the property, the rooms and the grounds. Soren and Klaus were the best hosts we have ever come across and they couldn't do enough to make sure we enjoyed our stay to the utmost. If I could score everything 11/10 then I would!

Thank you

Everything about the Chateau and our stay was exceptional. Being asked whether we'd like a reservation for dinner in a nearby restaurant, the delicious breakfast, and the beautiful and comfortable room. Klaus and Soren also very kindly and generously took the time in their busy day to tell us the fascinating history of the chateau and gave us a tour, and explained how it all came together for them. It is obvious how much time and hard work and love and pride was put into restoring, renovating and furnishing and decorating the chateau. It is truly impeccable. We can honestly say that staying here was the highlight of our 2 week tour of Brittany and Normandy. We truly appreciated our stay. Much respect and all the very best to Klaus and Soren.

The Story off Klaus and Soren

A shared dream of another life, Klaus Bentin and Soren Rasmussen left Denmark for Bagnoles de l'Orne and the Château du Gué aux Biches in 2020 . A chateau of 1,200 m2 on five floors, located on a hill just outside the town of Bagnole de l’Orne with a park of 13 hectares, wonderful views and close to the Andaines forest.

We have been visited by a Danish TV crew...

...who are creating an exciting documentary about Normandy. The program is called "Anne and Anders in Europe: Neighbor Strife in Northern France" and is broadcasted on DR1.
