- MMarie-Agnès et Benjamin19/09/2025Wedding of Marie-Agnès and BenjaminWedding of Marie-Agnès and BenjaminThe castle is a haven of wonders nestled in nature. Once you pass through the carriage entrance, you'll be transported to a magical stay. The children had a wonderful time in the grounds, and we had an exceptional time with our friends. The attention paid to the decor, a truly authentic kitchen with everything you need, the setting, the comfort. Everything was perfect. The proximity to the Poissons function room is also a plus when, like us, you're planning your wedding there.The castle is a haven of wonders nestled in nature.
