Note that the château provides the accommodation, but the hunts are organized by my partner
Jerôme Latrive, on the 1.600 hectares of land around the château. There is no need to drive to go
hunting (except on mud roads with estate’s Land Rovers). The average price of the rooms is
200 euros per night plus “continental” breakfast at 15 euros per guest. It is recommended to
stay there the nights of Friday and Saturday, but you can arrive earlier and use the château as
base camp for your holiday and various explorations of the Loire region.
PRICE OF THE HUNT:
Based on 8 to 12 guns, and a bag of 300/400 birds (wild pheasant) the price is 55 euros per bird.
The bag is divided by the number of guns to fix the final price, and the balance on the spot.
Example: if 350 pheasants are shot by 10 hunters. The price of the day is 55 euros x 350 birds =
19.520 euros / 10 guns = 1.952 euros per hunter.
& Downpayment: 50% at the reservation, based on 350 birds, as above in other words the
amount to block the reservation is 1.952 / 2 = 976 euros per gun.
NB: Cartridges, Loader, Meals & tips are not included.
My own fees for the office work is @ 150 euros per “gun” covering the preliminary work and
follow up around the organization of your trip, reservation of the shoot and accommodation,
shotgun rental if you prefer to travel light, temporary license, providing directions etc.
Transportation:
The best solution is to rent a car in Paris and drive.
Please review and come back to me asap with your questions or comments.
Thanks again for your confidence
Yours./ Nick
