We usually write about New Year’s Eve in places like St. Barth, Courchevel and Las Vegas, but when this came across our desk we sat a sighed. Perhaps one of the more glamorous New Year’s Eve options you’ll ever find, Simply Chateau is offering a special promotion on its Chateau de Challagne castle that sleeps up to 30-guests and includes a seated NYE dinner with full Royal Court treatment. The property was built in 1854 with formal gardens and updated interiors that offer modern amenities against a fully 19th Century experience. What better way to end the year with friends or perhaps indulge in a last-minute holiday wedding that’s fit for a French Queen �" albeit the castle was built a full century after the revolution. Nearby, the fortified town of Angers offers a thoroughly charming village life with wine bar, gourmet shops and family-owned eateries that all once belonged to the castle.
