THE CHÂTEAU HISTORY
Discover the rich history of the Jalesnes and the Château including tales of knights, bloodlines, royals, and more.
THE SPACE
The Chateau has an impressive array of Suites, Salons and Spaces to meet, dine and relax.
As you step inside you appreciate that you are in the presence of grandeur created over the centuries.
When passing through the main door, we are faced with a cozy entrance, surrounded by stone walls that convey a feeling of going back in time, being able to dazzle, right from the start, the unique and elegant architecture of the castle, which has undergone a major renovation.
To the right, we find the beautiful stairs, which give us access to the other rooms of the castle. The stairs, flanked by beautiful mosaics, create a magical setting that encourages us to go up and discover what lies beyond. But also offering accessibility via a beautifully decorated elevator.
With each floor, the interior of the castle reveals itself more and more, showing the unique beauty of its interior. It’s an unforgettable experience, that leaves us wanting to know more about this historic place
Our Interconnecting salons have retractable full-height glazed and oak partitions which can be opened to reveal a stunning gallery for dining and dancing. Individually these salons form:
