  • About us

    We are Tim and Sharon, proud owners of Chateau de la Grillere, nestled just outside the quaint commune of Saint Germain les Belles in the Haute Vienne region of southwest France.

  • The Château

    Château de la Grillère is located on the outskirts of Saint Germain les Belles, a peaceful commune in the Haute-Vienne region of southwest France. Just 42 km (26 miles) from the city of Limoges and a 40-minute drive from Limoges International Airport, the chateau offers a tranquil escape with convenient access to nearby attractions.

  • History

    In the early 20th century, the château became a summer retreat for Helene, the aunt of Simone de Beauvoir, one of France’s most influential writers and philosophers. This familial connection marked Château de la Grillere as a site of historical and cultural significance.
