The Château du Maréchal de Saxe An Exceptional Historic Estate on the Outskirts of Paris. Just twenty kilometres from Paris, at the heart of an estate spanning approximately sixty hectares, the Château de la Grange, better known as the Château du Maréchal de Saxe, stands among the most remarkable historic residences in the Île-de-France region. Originally commissioned in 1617 by Charles Duret de Chevry, Superintendent of Finances under King Louis XIII, and designed by the architect Jean Thiriot, a close associate of Cardinal Richelieu, the château was built on the foundations of a former fortified farm in the heart of the Forest of La Grange. Its elegant brick-and-stone architecture, a hallmark of the Louis XIII style, gives the property a timeless distinction. Offering approximately 1,300 sq.m (14,000 sq.ft) of living space, complemented by around 1,700 sq.m (18,300 sq.ft) of outbuildings, the estate presents exceptional potential for a luxury hospitality, events, institutional or mixed-use development of international standing. The château entered history in 1748 when it was acquired by Maurice de Saxe, Marshal of France, victor of the Battle of Fontenoy and one of the greatest military strategists of the eighteenth century. He undertook extensive improvements to the estate, including the creation of the celebrated Galerie des Stucs (Stucco Gallery). Over the centuries, the estate passed into the hands of several distinguished families closely connected to the highest circles of power, notably the Gourgaud family, whose history is deeply intertwined with the Napoleonic era. Listed as a Historic Monument, the château has preserved its façades, roofs, ceremonial gallery, several historic reception rooms, its Cour d’Honneur, moats, magnificent entrance gates and a substantial part of its landscaped park. The current owners have successfully revived the estate by restoring its historic salons and establishing a refined gourmet restaurant, demonstrating the remarkable potential of a property where heritage, gastronomy, nature and the French art of entertaining coexist in perfect harmony. Today, this extraordinary estate awaits a new visionary owner. Its immediate proximity to Paris, the quality of its architectural heritage, the scale of its buildings and the beauty of its grounds make it a truly rare opportunity to create a prestigious hotel. Some estates preserve history. Others offer the opportunity to write it.

At the gates of Dauphiné, 30 minutes east of Lyon, a listed historical monument castle, rich in eight centuries of history. The estate is established within a large fortified enclosure of about one kilometer, whose ramparts recall its original defensive purpose. The castle, a major stronghold of medieval Dauphiné, built from the 13th century and then remodeled until the Renaissance, is constructed in a U-shaped plan around a large inner courtyard. The main body, built of limestone and rubble, rises three levels above the courtyard. The facades are largely pierced with mullioned windows and animated, on the courtyard side, by arcaded galleries and Renaissance loggias, which testify to the progressive transformation of the fortress into a lordly residence. The ensemble is flanked by a round tower from the 14th century, a square tower, and a preserved keep, while several remnants of curtain walls remain. The steep roofs, covered with flat tiles forming a pattern of polychrome diamonds or pepperbox, are punctuated by dormers and tall chimney stacks. To the east, a path leads to the entrance porch. To the south, the French gardens open onto a wooded park. A concierge lodge and former stables are situated near the main dwelling, completing the historical layout of the site.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Réf.4802 : Chateau listed as a Historic Monument and its small chateau in Burgundy, in the heart of the Nièvre The château is situated in Burgundy, in the heart of the Nièvre region, between Nevers and Château-Chinon, on the outskirts of a small town of 900 inhabitants. Formerly the seat of a major medieval seigneury, the town developed on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Aron valley. The Nivernais Canal forms a loop within which the estate is situated. The Aron flows below. It is built on high ground and enjoys a magnificent view over the Nièvre countryside. The Morvan Regional Nature Park is nearby, a preserved natural area. The château is a 30-minute drive from Nevers and a 2 hour 40 minute drive from Paris. There is an aerodrome in Nevers, and a helicopter can land in the château grounds. The property comprises a 1,200 sqm château and a smaller 800 sqm château. THE CHATEAU : The château is built on a rectangular plan, over four storeys, with a slate gable roof. On the south-west façade, one can make out a former imposing chapel, now connected to the interior of the château, covered by a hipped roof, with two large pointed-arch windows. The main entrance is situated in the centre of a tall, projecting tower, spanning six storeys, topped by a hipped roof and housing a listed spiral staircase. The north-west façade, overlooking the terrace, is rendered in lime, featuring numerous mullioned windows in the larger sections and high-set dormer windows. The window frames are made of limestone. The south-east façade, offering a beautiful view of the Nièvre countryside, also features numerous windows, some of which are in a more classical 17th-C. style. A two-storey turret links the former chapel to the château. On the second and third floors there are twelve bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and wardrobe, ranging in size from 12 to 51 sqm. Beneath the roof of the former chapel lies a large 50 sqm study featuring a beautiful roof structure shaped like an upturned ship’s hull. Throughout the château, there are numerous preserved and restored architectural features, including floors, fireplaces, wood panelling, ceilings, and more. The interiors are very harmonious, of high quality, and perfectly respect this historic residence. THE SMALL CHATEAU : This is a 17th-C. building that originally housed outbuildings and large double-height stables. It has a rectangular layout over three storeys, plus an attic, and is covered with a slate Mansard roof. The main façade on the north-west side features a slight projection at its centre, with a pediment at the top, as well as at the ends, framed by stonework. The façades are lime-plastered. The interior surface area of the small château is approximately 800 sqm. THE 13TH-C. DEFENCE TOWER : This military defence tower has been converted into a self-contained flat. On the ground floor is a living room featuring antique terracotta tiles and a French-style ceiling. The tower contains various works by the designer and sculptor Pierre-Marie le Jeune, including a striking metal fireplace. A small kitchen has also been fitted out. Upstairs, there is a beautiful bedroom with a ‘sculpted bed’ and a glass ceiling revealing the magnificent roof structure, as well as a very contemporary bathroom with a glass bathtub. LAND : The park covers just over 12.3 acres. Around 1830, the landscape architect LAVENNE de CHOULOT designed an English-style park. It is through this park that one enters the estate. Heading south, we pass through a woodland with beautiful bridle paths that lead us to the edge of the Canal du Nivernais. From there, skirting the defence tower via a stone tunnel, we reach what was once the old kitchen garden, situated below the château’s terrace. Under the impetus of the current owners, this former kitchen garden has been transformed into a contemporary garden which has been awarded the ‘remarkable garden’ label. Water features have been created, resembling shattered fragments in which the sky and the château’s façade are reflected. Magnificent undulating rows of boxwood evoke the Nivernais bocage. This remarkable garden is bordered by a private canal running parallel to the Canal du Nivernais. Finally, a small French-style garden has been created on the upper terrace between the château and the 13th-C. tower. The views are magnificent, both from the lower garden towards the chateau terraces and from the upper gardens towards the Aron valley and the landscapes of the Nivernais countryside. This château is a truly historic family estate. Its size, location, surroundings, gardens and history make it a truly exceptional property. The high-quality restoration, which has been carried out with respect for the site’s history, means that a large family could move in immediately. The separation between the main château and the smaller château opens up a wide range of possibilities for activities without causing any disturbance. The development of an events business—such as conferences, corporate conventions, seminars, or private events like weddings, receptions, birthdays, etc.—is entirely feasible. It would also be possible to consider creating a hospitality (hotel) business. Finally, there is an opportunity to purchase additional land and buildings, subject to a price offer.
