History and setting
The château was built between the late 16th and early 17th century and was once a dependency of the Château de Dampierre. It keeps its medieval plan, with water-filled moats and four towers. Restored throughout, it retains original paneling, Versailles parquet, old terracotta floor tiles and working fireplaces. The park has an English garden, an orchard, a former hunting lodge and meadows where horses graze. The châteaux of Dampierre and Breteuil and the Abbaye des Vaux-de-Cernay are a few kilometers away.
Getting there
The château is about 45 minutes from Paris by car, via the A10 or the N118. The nearest public transport is the RER B station at Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse. The car park in the meadow holds up to 130 vehicles in dry weather, and valet parking is offered from 150 guests.
