What we love

  • 13th century Medieval Fortress
  • Private Theatre & Cinema
  • Historical Landscaped Gardens

This castle dating from the 13th century is located in a 250-hectare private park. It has kept its medieval era features but is equipped with all the latest technology and amenities. Completely renovated, each room of the property retraces the history of France from the Middle Ages to the Revolution. Located only 45 minutes from Paris, this estate is the ideal location to celebrate an intimate and unique wedding, have a party or an out of the ordinary seminar.

The tree-lined drive that leads to the entrance of the castle does not prepare you for the spectacle that awaits. "Considérable", as announced by an inscription still visible on its 17th-century door, this fortress emerges like a mirage. The entirety of the Middle Ages suddenly stands before your eyes. The walls, which are reminiscent of the Palace of the Popes in Avignon, exude such power and authority that you can almost hear the wars of religion raging in the distance. But the biggest surprise is yet to come. A complete reversal of sensations takes place when one steps inside.

The castle has 20 bedrooms including 9 suites, a listed chapel, a bakery, a large 600m2 restaurant/reception room, 12 lounges (each seats 16 people), a 1930's style bar, 3 kitchens including one professional, a medieval tea room, a wine/tasting cellar, a 10 hectare landscaped garden, a theatre/cinema with a stage and a giant screen (seats 25)

A ten hectare French-style garden and two hundred hectares of forest including a hunting ground and a panoramic lookout.
