Châteaux at Christmas

MANILA, Philippines –  ‘Tis that season once again when the whole world is jolly, even for a short while. While the “Christmas Effect” lasts only a few days, in South Forbes Golf City, the country’s largest fully-integrated and all-themed golf resort city at the forefront of the Metro Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay corridor, there are many reasons why it feels like Christmas every day of the year, especially in its French-inspired enclave, Châteaux de Paris.

Deck the Hall. The streets of Paris, most especially the world-renowned Champs Elysée, have always been known for its beautiful row of trees and alluring lights.

As one enters the gates of Châteaux de Paris, the immediate impression resembles that of walking the same streets of the French capital with a tree-lined main avenue lit with ornate lamp posts all the way until the Central Rotunda and continues on to the Grand Clubhouse. The same treatment is given to the transverse avenue which divides the whole enclave into quadrants.

Silent Night. There is no better place to experience complete relaxation than in the comforts of one’s home. Châteaux de Paris presents a taste of three French design styles in three different homes: the classical Chambord, the contemporary Chantilly, and the moderne Fontainebleau -- each with its unique layout to match the varying preferences of different homeowners yet one in providing warmth to all families.

The Chambord reminisces on old world charm that is characteristic of many of our parents’ and grandparents’ homes but updated to meet the modern lifestyle. From the exterior alone, the distinguished Chambord features a turret on one side of the house much like a palace, a unique feature that sets the model chateau apart from all others, hinting of romance and aristocracy.
