At Ch\u00e2teau Gigault, you wake up facing the vineyards, in a majestic 18th-century residence that becomes your home for the week. Your days harmonize with the natural rhythm of a working estate: gentle mornings among the rows of vines, relaxing afternoons by the pool, and evenings spent opening bottles from the cellar alongside those who have shaped them. An authentic, serene interlude deeply rooted in the French art of living, often described by our guests as a moment of suspension.<\/p>\n<h3>How many people can stay at Ch\u00e2teau Gigault?<\/h3>\n<p>The g\u00eete can accommodate up to <strong>15 people in 8 rooms<\/strong> with 6 double beds and 6 single beds. It is available for exclusive rental, which means that the entire estate is reserved for your group: ideal for family reunions, groups of friends, private celebrations or corporate seminars.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Ch\u00e2teau Gigault suitable for families with children?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely. The estate has been praised by families with young children for its swimming pool with diving board, its open spaces, ping-pong table, children's bikes (7-12 years) and the safe, open countryside that surrounds it. A family with nine children rated it 10\/10. The proximity of local villages, accessible by bike to fetch morning pastries, reinforces the experience of a local, authentic French vacation.<\/p>\n<h3>When is the best time to stay in a Bordeaux vineyard?<\/h3>\n<p>Every season at Ch\u00e2teau Gigault offers something special. Summer (June-August) is ideal for the swimming pool, long outdoor lunches and the golden light of the Gironde countryside. Holiday season <strong>harvest (September-October)<\/strong> is the most immersive time to visit: guests can take part in the harvest and see the estate in all its excitement. Spring brings the freshness of new foliage and mild temperatures, perfect for cycling and walking. Winter stays, even at Christmas as one of our guests confirmed, have a particularly soothing magic.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I go wine-tasting during my stay?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely. Guests can arrange private cellar tours and tastings with the estate team, including guided vineyard walks, tastings directly from the barrel and vertical tastings of several vintages of Cuv\u00e9e Viva. The g\u00eete also has its own wine cellar stocked with estate wines. Participation in the grape harvest can be arranged for September-October stays, subject to vintage availability.<\/p>\n<h3>How far is Ch\u00e2teau Gigault from Bordeaux?<\/h3>\n<p>Ch\u00e2teau Gigault is about <strong>50 minutes from downtown Bordeaux<\/strong> by car and about an hour from Bordeaux-M\u00e9rignac airport. Saint-\u00c9milion and Royan are each about an hour away. Paris is two hours by TGV to Bordeaux Saint-Jean station, then 50 minutes by car.<\/p>\n<h3>What is included in the g\u00eete rental?<\/h3>\n<p>The g\u00eete includes exclusive use of the 8 bedrooms and all common areas: lounge, TV room, gym and wine cellar.
