Château des Tesnières Celebrated as an “Enchanted Interlude”
We are delighted to share another wonderful editorial feature celebrating Château des Tesnières, this time in an article by renowned travel and gastronomy journalist Catherine Gary, who describes the château as an “Enchanted Interlude” in the heart of the Breton countryside.
The feature beautifully captures the spirit of Château des Tesnières as a destination where exceptional gastronomy, timeless elegance, botanical beauty and art come together to create an unforgettable experience.
A Castle of Wonder
The article invites readers into a world of fairy tales, describing the château’s restored turrets, golden façades, flowering gardens and magnificent estate of centuries-old trees, tranquil ponds and sculptures.
It also celebrates the remarkable transformation of the château, lovingly restored by Chef Chantel Dartnall, whose vision has brought new life to this historic estate while preserving its rich heritage and romantic character.
As Catherine Gary writes, Château des Tesnières is truly “a castle of wonders,” where every space has been thoughtfully curated to inspire discovery, beauty and serenity.
A World-Class Wine Collection
The feature also highlights one of Château des Tesnières’ greatest treasures—its extraordinary wine cellar.
Home to more than 25,000 bottles, the collection reflects generations of passion for exceptional wines, bringing together prestigious French labels alongside remarkable South African vintages. Carefully curated to complement the evolving menus at Mosaic, the cellar forms an integral part of the château experience.
Suites Inspired by Remarkable Women
The article concludes by exploring the château’s six individually designed suites, each dedicated to an extraordinary woman from history or legend.
From Anne of Brittany and Scheherazade to Empress Cixi, The Queen of Sheba and Mumtaz Mahal, every suite tells its own story through carefully selected antiques, artworks, textiles and decorative details, inviting guests to journey through history while enjoying contemporary comfort.
“A gastronomic table of twenty covers is an exceptional moment, a festival of subtle flavours and freshness at the same time as a feast for the eyes.”
