Description
Exceptional historic residence – Royal charm and a unique living environment Overlooking the famous coronation route, to which it is intimately linked, this château offers much more than a home: a living part of French history, in a peaceful and authentic setting less than an hour and a half from Paris. The oldest elements of the estate, including the guard tower, date from 1520. The château was built at the beginning of the 17th century. Initially designed to monitor the royal route, its role quickly evolved: during the coronation period, it housed part of the royal entourage, becoming a privileged place of passage between Reims and Paris. A place inhabited by History On the occasion of the coronation of Louis XV, major works were undertaken: A wing connecting the castle to the entrance tower was built to accommodate a dining room and the kitchens, still visible today, with the bread oven and, outside, the period water outlet from the sink, overlooking the moat. The interior, originally designed as a lantern castle (through rooms lit from both sides), was structured by the creation of corridors on three levels, improving the distribution of spaces. Today, we can still admire: Superb Versailles parquet floors adorned with ebony wood, visible in the ground floor living room Beautiful woodwork, partly preserved, which highlights the original refinement An elegant and functional residence The castle offers living rooms bathed in light, a large kitchen, spacious bedrooms and suites, as well as additional spaces: A reception room and its kitchen, with a capacity of more than 195 people A meeting / seminar room An independent studio Several outbuildings, usable according to your needs Modern comfort and environment A geothermal system ensures ecological thermal comfort, in harmony with the nobility of the old building.
