Do you long for the comfort of your Hunter boots? Do you have an irresistible urge to own a Range Rover? The problem is, you need the Château, and that’s where you’re going. Well. You can remedy the situation by visiting Vaux de Cernay Abbey, whose stunning restoration is the brainchild of Cordélia de Castellane. With 147 rooms, the abbey is a nod to France’s heritage, with its toile de Jouy and characterful furniture. The stud farm has been replaced by a Tata Harper spa, while a fine bistronomy restaurant serves fireside snacks. There’s also a cinema and a children’s club, as well as a wide range of sports activities, so there’s no shortage of castle life!
