Set amidst the magical forest of Brocéliande in Brittany France, home to King Arthur, Merlin and the noble knights and ladies of medieval times, sits the enchanting Chateau and Manoir du Mur. The estate is situated on a hilltop that overlooks 181 lush, private, and peaceful acres of tranquil woods and verdant fields.
Manoir du Mur was built between the 13th and 15th centuries. Within the Manoir are four fully furnished 'themed' self-catering apartments and a medieval dining room known as ‘The Hunter’s Lodge’. Other medieval structures hold the ‘The Knight’s Chamber’, the 'Medieval Assembly Room', with stage, cinema, as well as the Medieval Communal Kitchen; a fully equipped kitchen for catering. There is also an ancient outdoor bread oven and an artist studio. The property also boasts a working dairy farm that provides our guests with fresh milk, and of course, the 19th century romantic, Chateau Le Mur.
Le Mur' (The wall) is a privately owned estate situated on the highest peak in the surrounding countryside, and is a historic site recognized by the French Government. Le Mur was at one time a Medieval hamlet that sat along-side the ancient 'Roman Road'. These impressive stone structures still exists today as the Manoir and its adjacent outbuildings. Historic ruins on the site include a Roman earth berm or wall (hence the name 'Le Mur') that was built for observation and protection for the Roman soldiers who utilized the site as
a military camp. Foundations of a Roman Temple, a chariot drive, the remains of two medieval forts and moats have also been discovered on the property.
Located in the bucolic countryside, Le Mur is central to everything Brittany has to offer, from large Medieval towns on both the Channel and Atlantic Coasts, to lovely touristic villages just minutes away.
As guests of Le Mur, the vast property and its environs are at your disposal. Enjoy an afternoon picnic under the shade of the ancient Roman Arch (at one time the entry to the hamlet), hike along the numerous wooded paths, romp through fields of wild flowers to feed and play with the miniature pony and Ouessant sheep (the smallest breed of sheep in the world), Read a book or simply nap under a canopy of trees in the apple, peach and pear orchards.
