Travel blogger Emma Cook, known on TikTok as @petite.blondine, posted a video of her vacation at the Château de Contay estate. This 18th-century castle is just a two-hour drive from Calais and offers travelers a vacation with a fairytale atmosphere.

So far, the video in which Emma shows the peculiarities of staying in this place has gained more than 700 thousand views. What exactly impressed the blogger and what are the benefits of staying at Château de Contay, were detailed in the Daily Mail.

The Château de Contay country house is located in the small French village of Contay, just two hours away from the city of Calais, where the family that manages and maintains this house lives. This property can accommodate up to 16 guests and offers 8 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

Emma Cook stayed in the house with her 33-year-old boyfriend. According to her, it was like staying in a Disney movie. Emma said that the guest rooms of the house look beautiful and historic, and there is a peacock on the property that roams freely.

In addition, you can have an interesting time outside the castle. Just 20 minutes away is the Gothic city of Amiens, home to Notre Dame Cathedral, which is the largest in France, and just an hour's drive away is Arras.

The blogger notes that it is better to travel here with your own car and says: "The country roads here are so beautiful, and I was shocked at how easy it is to cross by ferry compared to flying."
