Thinking of staying in a hotel when you visit France? Think again.

AirBnB has the advantage of allowing tourists a home from home. Access to a working kitchen helps visitors host dinners, or simply make the most of fresh local produce. The friendly neighborhood vibe is often more welcoming than hotels in business districts.

AirBnB is also a fabulous way for travelers looking for a unique housing experience. Never lived in a castle? Now’s your chance. Here are 5 of Frenchly’s favorite French châteaux for your next fairytale trip of a lifetime:

1. Le Château de Plantey– $125/Night

If you’re heading to the south of France, be sure to check out the Château de Plantey. Located in Labastide-Castel-Amouroux in the Lot-et-Garonne department, this chateau offers proximity to the historic caves of Domme, the town of Issigeac, and medieval Belves, listed as the most beautiful village in France.
