    •  Classified as a Historic Monument, it was built in the late XVᵉ century near the site of the Crazannes stone quarries. Surrounded by an 8-hectare park, you'll discover the chapel, keep, dovecote and water moat.

    Un mariage inoubliable dans ce lieu incroyable. Que dire de ce lieu magique ?! Qu’il a été un rêve même par temps de pluie pour notre mariage, avec ses plans B pour la pluie aussi beaux que les plans A. Nous avons fait notre cérémonie laïque dans la chapelle et les invités ont trouvé cela grandiose. La verrière pour le cocktail nous a permis d’être en extérieur et dans un espace lumineux! La salle se suffit à elle même tant elle est belle. Les nombreuses chambres sur le lieux ont permis une belle surprise aux invités avec une évasion garantie et surtout une fête jusqu’au bout de la nuit sans inquiétude ! Et surtout, MERCI LISA de nous avoir accompagné de si belle manière, cela a été un plaisir de créer ce moment grâce à tes conseils et ta bienveillance !

    Not a venue to visit for English visitors as our hosts booked well in advance a tour at 16:30 for an English speaking guided tour around the Chateau and its grounds for our party of nine. The tour...
