Full Description


Surrounded by 15 hectares of landscaped gardens and parks, the castle is accessed via a majestic tree-lined boulevard.
As you approach this exceptional castle, you are greeted by impressive and majestic dimensions that are in the purest tradition of eighteenth-century architecture.
The sumptuous central hall takes us into the heart of this breathtaking property with its high ceilings and equally impressive windows. The large living room of more than 60 m2 enjoys a view of the newly landscaped French gardens. The adjoining dining room is dominated by the fabulous Viollet-le-Duc fireplace and resonates with the opulence of the time. The music room has also been restored by the current owners to its former grandeur. A private chapel, a second living room and the owners' apartments make up the rest of the ground floor.
On the first floor, the Grande Galerie stretches for nearly forty meters, crossing the entire length of the castle. Both the Marquis' Room and the Marquesas Room have been carefully restored to their former splendor years before. Each room and antechamber offers a fabulous glimpse into the opulence of the eighteenth century.
The Orangery
Facing south-west and with a private garden, the Orangerie has a large reception room that can accommodate 150 people seated and extends to the gardens.
The Orangery, equipped with a professional kitchen, is the ideal place for a wide range of events: weddings, seminars, cocktail parties, conferences, company meals, etc.
The gardens
The current owners have ambitiously recreated the original gardens from old pictures and plans and restored them to their former splendour.
A superb 35m x 20m pool reflects the majestic beauty of the castle.
The Grand Gîte
With a large private courtyard and a view of the castle park, the cottage offers a living area of 90 m². It has a hallway, kitchen, bathroom, spacious living room, master bedroom, and second bedroom.
The Little Gîte
With its private courtyard and views to the west, it offers 55 m² of living space and includes a kitchen, bathroom, living room and double bedroom.
A unique opportunity
