40kms south of Troyes: Situated on edge of small town with most
shops. Very pretty region with forests, vineyards and rolling hills. This
property dates back to 1868 and reflects the elegant art de vivre of the
Napoleon III period. The château has retained most of its original
features – parquet flooring, fireplaces with monumental mirrors, mouldings and
friezes. It boasts approx 300 m² habitable surface area on 3 floors, including
21 bedrooms. The main part of the roof has been replaced although there is still
some work required on the sides. The interior is in good condition and the
owners have preserved most of the original décor. Some work required restoring
plasterwork on some ceilings and wall coverings in certain rooms.
