Making your journey as easy as possible
By Rail
From Paris, you can take the Toulouse-bound TGV to Agen (approx. 3.5 hours). From Agen, a local "liO" train reaches Valence d'Agen in 15 minutes — and the Château is then a short 10-minute drive away. Both trains can be booked directly with SNCF .
Getting to Paris will likely involve taking the Eurostar (from the UK) or ICE (from Germany). As of 2026, there is also a brand new sleeper train from Hamburg and Berlin, though this can be quite pricy, depending on travel class.
By Road
If you're travelling by car, this might be a wonderful opportunity to go through the Loire Valley or the Dordogne Valley. Both are among France's most iconic road trip routes, and endowed with rather more than their fair share of scenic landscapes, castles, and excellent wine.
Through the Air
The nearest major airport is Toulouse (TLS), which has direct flights from London, Bristol, Munich, and Berlin.
From Tolouse, it is either a 1-hour drive to the Château, or you can take a regional train ("TER", bookable via SNCF ) to Valence d'Agen. This does, however, require first getting to the Toulouse Matabiau train station, which can, for instance, be achieved with the airport shuttle busses.
There are several hotels close by - here is a selection for your convenience:

It may also be worth checking out booking sites. Besides the usual suspects ( AirBnb and Booking.com ), there are some uniquely French offerings, which may occasionally have real hidden gems at reasonable prices. Sites we've used in the past are Gîtes de France , Roomlala , and Leboncoin (basically French eBay, but, for some reason, with rental properties).
Unfortunately, there are no Bonvoy hotels in the area, in case this matters to you.
Think sun-faded linens at the end of a long European summer.
Our theme is inspired by the old Grand Tour — when students disappeared through Italy, Greece, and the South of France in pursuit of art, philosophy, and beautiful ruin — the mood is romantic, well-travelled, and slightly undone.
Soft linens, pale tailoring, weathered cottons, heirloom jewellery, relaxed silhouettes. Cream, oat, stone, ivory, faded olive, dusty blue, sun-washed neutrals. Nothing too crisp or overly formal. No pastels, nor whites please, unless it’s forming an accent colour in your outfit, or if it’s a shirt.
Imagine:
The aim is: relaxed, romantic, and beautifully disheveled rumpled rather than polished black tie.
