A little bit about us, my name is Brenda, and I discovered our Chateau 35 years ago and fell in love with the idyllic serenity the area has to offer. We have been carefully renovating, redesigning, and styling each room with antiques and beautiful settings; we have now renovated the large two outbuildings, which are now perfect wedding and events spaces. A recent staff member has also joined the team, and with a background in boutique events, fine dining, and retreats, we are here to sign, seal, and deliver what you are looking for.

Imagine living the dream and waking up in the embrace of the most romantic candlelit cream and gold mirrored salon with dripping gilded candelabra, columns, cherubs and chaise longues. The intimate dining room and reception hall awaits your exclusive French country wedding party. The house, grounds and newly restored original stone outbuildings offer the perfect backdrop for your wedding photographs and portraits.

The Orangerie offers the perfect buffet, reception and dance spaces with its columns and large illuminated terraces on two sides.

Reviews

  • This Historical 18th Century Castle is an idyllic place and the owner is a woman of taste. The whole castle is a dream, the rooms, the lounges, the stairs, the exteriors, the orangery. Everything is imbued with taste and refinement. The owner let us stay for several days and this saved us a lot of stress and allowed us to prepare as best we could for this big day. We can say that our wedding at this Castle was a fairy tale.
    Thank you!
