Sometimes you find a little place that is absolutely gorgeous, for no particular reason. This little hamlet is dominated by a chateau (private) - and in that sense it's a bit like visiting Blenheim without the gardens.

But just a few metres away from the imposing chateau gates and you're in a world of peace and quiet, where picnic tables are set on a soft grassy clearing next to a bubbling river that's ideal for a dog dip, and a country farm lane running close to the river is ideal for a short stroll.

Take a picnic, and enjoy the moment.
