Owners of the Château de Maulmont,
a 3* hotel with a gastronomic restaurant, near Vichy
« We come from The Hague and we have two daughters.
One day, we decided to look for an old building to renovate in France and we discovered the Chateau: we literally fell in love with it!
It is now a 3* hotel with a gastronomic restaurant. »
Testimony of Mrs. Bosman
« Renovating the building represented a huge work but also a challenge.
We made many mistakes for the simple reason that we did not know anybody and that we spoke very little French.
Now we have reached our goal: our chateau has become a charming place to stay, not only for its surroundings but also forits cuisine.»
Testimony of Mrs. Bosman
« We had never heard about Auvergne and we discovered a stunning area, unspoilt countryside, lots of space, not overcrowded, quiet with beautiful landscapes and interesting culture and history
The climate is better, there is more sun, less rain.
The French lifestyle is relaxed, with less pressure.»
Testimony of Mrs. Bosman
« But you mustn’t idealise France: to start a business in a foreign country is not easy, the administration system is complex and difficult to understand in the beginning.
This requires courage and a positive attitude. You need to keep an open mind. Everything is different from home, but it also has its advantages… »
Testimony of Mrs. Bosman
« We have made many acquaintances in the region, not only in the sectors of tourism, gastronomy and gardening, but also in the building trade, as my husband created a building company a few years ago.
We have learnt a lot, sometimes the hard way, but we can now look back on a number of good years »
