Surrounded by 15 hectares of gardens and landscaped parks, the castle is accessible via a majestic tree-lined boulevard. As one approaches this exceptional castle, they are greeted by impressive and majestic dimensions that are part of the purest tradition of 18th-century architecture. The sumptuous central hall lets us enter the heart of this stunning property with its high ceilings and equally impressive windows. The large living room of over 60 m² enjoys a view of the newly laid French gardens. The adjoining dining room is dominated by the fabulous Viollet-le-Duc fireplace and resonates with the opulence of the era. The music lounge has also been restored by the current owners to regain its former splendor. A private chapel, a second living room, and the owners' apartments make up the rest of the ground floor. On the first floor, the Grand Gallery extends nearly forty meters, spanning the entire length of the castle. The Marquis bedroom and the Marquises bedroom have both been carefully restored to regain their former glory from years ago. Each bedroom and anteroom offers a fabulous glimpse of 18th-century opulence. The Orangery, facing southwest and equipped with a private garden, has a vast reception room that can accommodate 150 seated guests and extend to the gardens. The Orangery, featuring a professional kitchen, is the perfect venue for a wide range of events: weddings, seminars, cocktails, conferences, corporate meals, and more. The current owners have ambitiously recreated the original gardens from old images and plans and have restored them to bring back their former splendor. A stunning pool measuring 35m x 20m reflects the majestic beauty of the castle. The Grand Gîte, with a vast private courtyard and a view of the castle park, offers a living area of 90 m².
