Château de Bézyl

Informations générales

The 96 hectare estate of Domaine les Bois de Bézyl lies on the south eastern edge of Sixt sur Aff near Redon. Originally built in the neo-Palladian style by the Marquis de Lanascol in 1877, this Breton chateau, and its grounds have undergone drastic renovation work since 2003. The owners Bob and Tineke Roest have transformed the building into a lovingly restaured countryhouse, where comfort and colour and hospitality are the essance.

The artist decorator Bert Strik is creating an art deco themed interior, with wonderful, complex nature-inspired frescoes and leaded glass windows.

Its beautifully maturing gardens, lake, grassy expanses, walled garden and woodland afford stunning views over the surrounding area nestling in the heart of Brittany, with the famous GR39 footpath practically on its doorstep.

Nature lovers will delight in the chance to spot various varieties of insect, flora and fauna, including wild boar, roe deer and bats, whilst children are guaranteed to love the free-roaming ducks, chickens and sheep.

The estate also comprises several elements of historical interest, such as a hunting lodge, two chapels, a barn and a newly restored well. A network of paths criss-crosses the estate, providing plenty of opportunities to get away from it all and breathe in the country air.
