About

Since the château was constructed for Louis XIV’s financier, Paul Poisson de Bourvallais, it’s hosted numerous French dignitaries and some of France’s greatest literary and philosophical minds, including Proust and Voltaire.

As sumptuous inside as it is out, the château is a marvel to walk through. Visitors will have the chance to roam the grounds at their leisure, and get a glimpse of aristocratic life in a bygone era full of rococo and chinoiserie decor.
