About this property

Stay in an 18th century French castle
Our castle dates from 1732. Having belonged to an alleged mistress of King Louis XIV, whose daughter Sophie was a close friend of the French writer and philosopher Denis Diderot, a prominent figure in the Age of Enlightenment, who stayed twice at the castle, it became much later the property from designer Karl Lagerfeld.
Our property covers several hectares of parkland and forests.
Access to the castle is via a stone bridge to cross the moat surrounding the castle.
The pool area was created near the old castle farm and its dovecote.
The property is located in Champagne, 10 minutes from Lac du Der. The first champagne producers are around 30 kilometers away.

Even better than the pictures

Property was superb - even better than the pictures - we had a mixed family group to celebrate our 40th birthdays and it was so big and well maintained that we could do things together or separately throughout the week. Communication with Martine was easy and helpful. She was also very helpful throughout the covid delays.

Absolutely stunning chateau in the middle of the French countryside

I could not fault our stay at the chateau. Everything was perfect. The photos you see are exactly what you get and the building itself is stunning. We stayed for 3 nights to celebrate a special birthday and we could easily have stayed longer.

A wonderful holiday in a delightful large Chateau

Whatever you may think when you look at the photos, you will be more impressed when you arrive 😊 Martine is terrific – very welcoming, charming and really helpful - she answered the few queries we had by email very quickly & she is quite right to be very proud of their lovely house (we were very grateful for the lovely champagne in the fridge too!) The Chateau is really nicely renovated and decorated, the outlook is amazing on to the park at the back and the rooms (upstairs & downstairs) are generally large comfortable and not over the top. It’s somewhere you can relax and not worry about breaking old furniture or antiques! There were 10 of us in 2 families, so we used 6 bedrooms and the 5 bathrooms – some of the upstairs bedrooms ‘share’ en-suite bathrooms which are between the 2 rooms. For our families this was perfect, but don’t expect 8 bedrooms all to have a private en-suite. The downstairs bedroom has a separate bathroom. The main bedroom is amazing, it has a large en-suite with sauna and whirlpool bath, so the ‘hot tub’ isn’t under the stars, it is a bath in a bathroom – I guess it would be a bit cozy for more than 4 people! This room also has a walk-in wardrobe & the sauna. There are two dining rooms, it might be a challenge getting 16 around the main table, but for our 10 it was brilliant, we dined outside a couple of times. The pool is really nice, it warmed up during the week – the peace and tranquillity from the pool were delightful, the only sounds were the church tower clock, frogs in the moat and the occasional flapping of wings as a heron took off! (or a Frech air force jet!) There are a couple of supermarkets a few miles away, so stocking up was easy (nothing in the village next door). We were there for a relaxing family holiday, reading, eating, drinking, swimming, being together as families, playing badminton (we took our own) and cycling & walking around the grounds, it was perfect. We saw deer, a hare and heron in the park, plus dozens of frogs in the moat. The Champagne trail is a few miles away and we spent a day going around the region which is delightful, but didn’t realise that nearly everywhere closed for the bank holiday. Wifi is OK and at 4 hours from Calais, travelling was really easy. It's a very special place and we would love to go back - thank you Martine for letting us stay in your wonderfulChateau.

A magnificent experience !

We had such an amazing holiday at the property. We really couldn't have hoped for a better experience. On top of the chic decoration in the beautiful chateau, we really enjoyed the heated pool and the generous acres of private grounds for lovely walks. We would definitely want to come back!
