French Manors
Chateau de Montreuil
Hotel & restaurant in historical town
'Chateau de Montreuil' is a charming hotel and restaurant in Montreuil Sur Mer.
Once the country retreat of the Rothschild family, this manor house now combines English charm with Fine French dining, all within a stones throw of the Channel Tunnel.
Take lunch outside on the terrace, next to the small pool, with views down the lawn towards another majestic french manor full of faded grandeur.
After a relaxing lunch of typically gourmet French food - you can take a stroll around the town ramparts and visit some of the interesting vintage shops scattered around town.

Vinophile : Montreuil sur Mer
Vinophile - Wines, Champagnes & Liqueurs
I visited Montreuil sur Mer (pas de Calais, in the north of France) and discovered this charming wine cellar. It's a boutique wine shop, in a modern vintage style. This shopfront speaks a thousand words...
Montreuil sur Mer is a historic town; the buildings are all very minimal in style with beautifully painted shutters and contrasting paintwork details. (I took loads of photos and will post some examples of the window shutters shortly)
Seeing this sign to the shop on the classic French Grey building was very in keeping with the town style. Then, when turning round the corner, you're greeted by the bright neon pink signature 'Vinophile' and an inviting entrance.
Inside featured shelves, nooks, dug outs all filled with specialist champagnes. Limited editions; (Andy Warhol X Dom Perignon) Magnums; Ruinart for Euro 71 (about £57, compared to £80 in UK) and gift sets featuring branded glasses and Champagne stoppers.
The back of the shop featured a cellar like area stocking a massive range of wines
This wine cellar also had an extensive range of bar ware and unusual liqueurs. I purchased some 'Creme De Mure des Roncieres' and 'Creme De Frambois de Bourgogne' to add to some champagnes - I'll add some shots when I try them out.
