I am a high performance/personal development coach in London and have been working with businesses and individual clients for over 20 years. As well as coaching, I also run a luxury rental chateau in the French countryside which was our home for many years. My husband and I have three children all of whom grew up in France but now live in the UK and as a family, we love travelling and exploring new places all together. Discreet, on-site caretakers reside in a private cottage on the grounds of Château Les Arcis. While they prioritize guests’ privacy, they’re available to assist with any needs during your stay, ensuring comfort and smooth experiences at the property. They remain unobtrusive but are readily accessible should you need guidance or support with any aspect of the château or its amenities.
