The Venue History
18th and 19th century · 18th-century maison de maitre with 19th-century farmhouse complex
The estate comprises three buildings dating from the 18th and 19th centuries: the manor house (maison de maitre, referred to locally as 'the chateau'), a 19th-century farmhouse, and a former chapel converted into a holiday house. The farmhouse complex, approximately 1,000 square metres in a U-shape, formerly housed stables, a sheep pen, a cattle barn, granary barns, and wheat lofts. These spaces have been transformed into gites and event areas. The owners, Suzy and Eric, purchased and renovated the property after careers in IT services. The domaine has been hosting weddings since 2013.
