One of the most significant historical chateaux in France, this Chateau is both simple and sumptuous with the great octagonal salon in white and blue, the elegant dining room with the original 17th Century carved stone buffet, magnificent boiseries that have dessus-de-deportes by Francois Boucher, and the limestone entry hall which celebrates the classicism of the 17th Century. All of the 17 bedrooms each with its own private bathroom were beautifully refurbished in 1999 and 2000. Reception rooms, library, billiard room, gymnasium. A Professional gourmet kitchen in addition to two service kitchens, a billiard room and a banquet room. Spectacular vaulted cellars. There are numerous outbuildings including a spacious chapel and an adjacent reception room, stable and greenhouse. The 185+ acres of garden were designed by Le Notre and spread out behind the chateau in the central axis with two rectangular lakes filled with swans, ducks, birds and fish, a spectacular cascade and fountain, surmounted by a Neptune. Jules Hardouin-Mansart and Le Notre designed Versailles at the same time as they designed this Chateau. The magnificence and elegance on a smaller scale is evident throughout. Price on request. |
