Château du Fort — The Château Life, in Full

Three bedrooms. One château. Yours entirely.

Two hours from Paris, a gate opens onto a different world.

An avenue of century-old plane trees. A millstream catching the morning light. A château that has stood here, quietly, for a thousand years.

For your stay, Château du Fort is entirely yours. All of it.

Three Bedrooms, Three Stories

The Art Nouveau wing, designed in 1900 by a pupil of Guimard, unfolds into three spacious bedrooms with park views — each with its own private fireplace, each with an atmosphere you simply won't find anywhere else.

The brick fireplace room, with its covered loggia overlooking the millstream and the listed village church. The green faience room, with its antique writing desk and floor-to-ceiling bookcase. The white marble room, with its terracotta floors, golden chandelier, and the kind of evening glow that makes everyone stay at the table just a little longer.

Three fires. Three moods. One château, for you alone.

190 m² of History — Just for You

The entire wing is yours. No other guests, no shared corridors, no compromises.

The grand salon — five-metre ceilings, a monumental Art Nouveau fireplace dating to 1901, and an extraordinary reinforced concrete vault, one of the earliest ever built in Europe — becomes your living room. The private terrace above the millstream, your terrace. The 3-hectare grounds, with their century-old plane trees, barbecue and games for the children, your garden.

The fully equipped kitchen (oven, dishwasher, Nespresso) looks out onto the listed village church. The two bathrooms — one with a magnificent mosaic bathtub — invite you to slow right down. And Burgundy's Puisaye region, all around you, is there to explore at your own pace.

Your Hosts

We live on the opposite side of the château — a completely separate wing, no shared spaces of any kind. Available if you need us, discreet the rest of the time. We're passionate about this place and happy to share the hidden corners of the Puisaye with you, should you wish.

Because for a few days, this is your home.
