Who are we?
Marine & Alexandre
Owners of Domaine des Chapeaudières, nestled among vineyards and sunflowers on the outskirts of Châtellerault.
.
We acquired Domaine des Chapeaudières with a simple conviction: this place deserved more than just maintenance; it deserved to have its character restored.
A family story, an estate to be reborn
[Editorial text to be written explaining where Alexandre and Marine are from, why Châtellerault, and why this estate rather than another. This paragraph is the heart of the page: this is where we set ourselves apart from a “standard” bed-and-breakfast.]
Le Pigeonnier is the cornerstone of this project and the promise of a welcome that feels like home, not like a hotel.
Personalized hospitality
Every room at Le Pigeonnier has been restored with care to preserve the authenticity of the 18th-century building.
We know every guest who stays with us—this isn’t a hotel chain; it’s our home.
Le Pigeonnier is just the first accommodation; other charming retreats will emerge in the coming years.
