This elegant 18th century Louis XV style chateau with great potential for a tourist-based activity is located about an hour from Paris in a location known as the “croisée des trois chateaux” in the Seine et Marne department. Ground-breaking in its construction, it was conceived by its original owner to avoid the risk of fire which had ravaged the previous edifice, using the technique known as “voutes catalane” which eliminates the use of a timber frame for the structure.Using subterranean canals, the property’s drainage and sanitation system was also remarkable and particularly ingenious for the time. The property’s proportions are reasonable, and even two centuries ago it was easier to maintain than the numerous sprawling and ostentatious chateaux of its era.Featuring springs, water features, woodland and France’s first English-style garden, the grounds also boast probably the most majestic plane tree in the Ile de France region.Extensive outbuildings mainly dating from the time of Napoleon III include an orangery, a greenhouse, stables, several pavilions to accommodate staff, as well as a hunting lodge outside the domain. “Mérimée” listed, the property, in part, replies to standards allowing to host up to 300 guests, and the existing buildings offer great further potential for conversion.
