iad France - Marie Miqueau (06 32 79 04 46) offers you: CHÂTEAU DE BLET / CLASSIFIED PICTURESQUE / FULLY FURNISHED / 2H30 FROM PARIS / 30 MINUTES BOURGES TRAIN STATION AND AIRPORT / 30 MINUTES MAGNY-COURS CIRCUIT / 40 KM FROM SANCERRE. The Cher, department of Centre-Val de Loire, against the voluptuous hills of Sancerrois, neighbors Berry and Sologne, a green corner where the Loire river sings. Blet, a small village perched on a hill at 180 meters above sea level hides an ancient medieval fortress, of which only a print and the echo of Richard COEur de Lion walking its walls remain. In the 11th century, Eudo de Sully built a castle on the ruins of a Roman villa. Maintained and magnified by the same family for almost 1000 years, we know its last form thanks to the Marquis de Nicolaï and his wife De Bonneval whose coats of arms adorn the entrance doors. Although it can be seen from the village, one must pass through the high gate, follow the winding path among the trees, and pass the century-old ginkgo to finally be amazed by the unadorned elegance of this castle classified with 10 centuries of history. The entire set of the two wings and the three corner towers offers approximately 2500m2 of living space spread over five levels and consisting of 72 rooms including 25 bedrooms (16 to be restored). The visit begins on the south side under the guard of the lions of De Bonneval where two large glazed doors open onto the entrance of the castle on the ground floor: The wide stone staircase invites exploration, but first, one must follow the passage of the old stables at this level to discover a space converted into a warm living room, office, and family kitchen where modernity flirts with the traditional Norman stone. On this same level, you will find the boiler room, cellars, utility rooms, and the former butcher shop of the castle. It is time to ascend through time, and therefore the staircase, to discover on the first floor the heart of the castle's life: First, the large reception room, a marvel of the past where light bursts onto the magnificent wall paneling from the Château de Bercy, of which the Marquis de Nicolaï was the last owner. The large dining room also surprises with its openings onto an imposing terrace dominating the village and the surrounding countryside to the west. Next, small and large lounges, a smoking room, a library, and an old kitchen. The small chapel of Saint Thérèse nestled in one of the towers, adorned with coats of arms, concludes the visit of this level with reverence. The time of war being past, the walls of the residence have been pierced over the years with large blown-glass windows that bathe the place in brilliant light. Everywhere, the eye delights in the wall decorations, the Venetian blonde of the parquet floors, the marble fireplaces in each room, and the antique furniture left by many generations... On the second floor, the sunlit long corridor serves nine carefully decorated bedrooms, eight of which have their own bathroom. Different styles are celebrated there. The last two levels of the castle bear the mark of the past, and one enjoys getting lost and traversing more than thirty rooms that testify to the intense life that reigned in these places until the 19th century. These parts are to be renovated, but one can only work one’s imagination to quickly restore them to their former splendor.... Outside on the East side, the terrace of the honor courtyard overlooks the 18 hectares of the estate arranged in the English style, particularly the majestic horse road called "de la Folie", an ancient Roman road leading to Sancerre, classified in 1981. Still on the East, the castle outbuildings of about 1700m2 are divided into several units, including stables and a gite with a capacity of 8 people. Not to forget the little theater of the castle, a marvel to be restored for the most creative. The roofs of the castle and the outbuildings (except for the stables) are in perfect condition.
