Ernie and Terry Monaco, the American owners of Chateau Le Mur, have a had a long history together of joining a romantic, theatric, and creative Spirit. Married for thirty some odd years, (they have now lost count) they have lived a life of adventure collecting interesting artifacts and experiences along the way. Having met in Chicago while Ernie was studying Urban Planning, and Terry Graphic Design, they set out to conquer the world. They have had the opportunity to travel the world and have met many precious people from all walks of life, learning along the way that life can be extremely wonderful—and at the same time very, very challenging. Therefore they have created Chateau Le Mur to be a magical, peaceful haven, and invite you to come share in what they have created here. From a fairy-like castle filled with treasures collected from all over the globe to the whimsical ‘Rapunzel's Tower’, ‘The Knight’s Chambre’, ‘The Fairy Room’ and ‘The Dark Enchanted Forest’ to the fabled personages who ‘at one time lived in the manoir’ they've created a place that calls to the child in all of us.

Set amidst the magical forest of 'Brocéliande' in Brittany, France, home to King Arthur, Merlin and the noble knights and ladies of Medieval times, the enchanting Chateau Le Mur is situated on a hilltop that overlooks 181 lush, private, and peaceful acres of tranquil woods and verdant fields. Located within the extensive property is a Manoir that dates from the 13th to 15th centuries with four fully furnished ‘themed’ self-catering apartments and a medieval Dining Room/Hunter's Lodge. Other medieval structures hold the 'Knight's Room', an 'Assembly Room' with stage, cinema, and fully equipped kitchen for catering, an ancient outdoor bread oven, an artist studio, a working dairy farm that provides our guests with fresh milk, and of course, the 19th century romantic Chateau.

Le Mur' (The wall) is a privately owned estate situated on the highest peak in the surrounding countryside, and is a historic site recognized by the French Government. Le Mur was at one time a Medieval hamlet that sat along-side the ancient 'Roman Road'. These impressive stone structures still exists today as the Manoir and its adjacent outbuildings. Historic ruins on the site include a Roman 'wall' (hence the name 'Le Mur') foundations of a Roman Temple, and a chariot drive. The remains of two medieval forts and moats have also been discovered on the property. Located in the bucolic countryside, Le Mur is central to everything Brittany has to offer, from large Medieval towns on both the Channel and Atlantic Coasts, to lovely touristic villages just minutes away. As guests of Le Mur, the vast property and its environs are at your disposal. Enjoy an afternoon picnic under the shade of the ancient Roman Arch (at one time the entry to the hamlet), hike along the numerous wooded paths, romp through fields of wild flowers, play with the miniature pony and miniature Ouessant sheep, read a book or simply nap under a canopy of trees in the apple, peach and pear orchards.
