The word of the advertiser
We offer this exceptional property for lovers of French history and heritage. Situated in the heart of the French Jura, this listed chateau is just 10 minutes from Geneva by air and 1 hour by road.
An ideal location for hosting international events.
Set in a 132-hectare estate, this 13th-century building is the epitome of a fortified castle, with its keep, towers and drawbridge across the surrounding moat.
At the end of the 19th century, it was bought by a wealthy industrialist from Lyon, who restored it in the Renaissance style, earning it the title of 'best restoration in France'.
In 2002, it was acquired by the current chatelain, who completed its restoration until 2007 in accordance with historical, artistic, scientific and technical criteria, thereby registering it as one of France's historic monuments.
Go through the gate at the entrance.
The authenticity of the premises has been carefully preserved over the course of the improvements that have made it a very comfortable residence.
It boasts 4,000 m2 of living space, with 70 rooms spread over 3 floors, including 24 bedrooms and 27 bathrooms.
The royal stables are a jewel for horse riders, comprising 8 large boxes as well as a manege and a Fontainebleau sand dressage arena.
Behind the chateau, a number of buildings have also been restored:
- The service building is dedicated to housing the service staff. It includes several flats as well as a dormitory and a refectory. Several workshops such as the forge, bakery and carpentry are an integral part of the building.
- The gardener's house
- The farm (the only unrestored building)
A surrounding wall surrounds the 80-hectare estate. Numerous gravelled or paved driveways lead to the various parks and to the sublime 20-hectare French-style garden, set between forests, mountains and vineyards.
Water is present throughout the property thanks to an English river, stone canals, cascades and a pond.
This chateau is a marvel for lovers of history and old stones.
