Château de Percey sits in the Yonne region of northern France, a 17th-century estate surrounded by peaceful countryside. Once home to a countess and visited by the Chevalier d’Éon, the château stayed with the Tardieu de Melisey family for more than two centuries after the French Revolution. Repurposed several times and later abandoned, it has been carefully restored and now offers an atmospheric wedding chateau in Burgundy.
Since 2021, under the stewardship of Fernando and Nathalie Dias Goncalves, the château has become a celebrated venue for private and professional events. With event spaces that include a 560m² orangerie, multiple salons, and landscaped outdoor areas, Château de Percey offers a historic yet revitalised location for weddings. The estate is near the vineyards of Chablis and within reach of Auxerre, ideal for couples seeking a well-connected and characterful setting in Burgundy.
