Travel through time
Our patrimony is alive!
Have you ever dreamed of experiencing the romantic atmosphere of the 19th century France? Join us in the heart of Napoleonic history! To fully live this immersion in our French heritage, we costumed each participant in the rooms of the chateau. A typical 19th century dinner is served in the dining room and hosted by a gastronomic historian. Afterwards, the musicians are waiting for you in the lounges for a social ball. A dance master and historian will guide you and make you discover the social codes that prevailed at the time. You will also be given 120 photos of the event, including portraits. Add or remove what you want, we will adapt to your desires.
Daydreaming and good mood guaranteed!
