A 19th-century Château set within 51 hectares of forest and parkland, reserved exclusively for one wedding, one celebration, at a time.
Built in the closing decades of the 19th century, Château Changeux pairs brick-and-stone façades and slate turrets with interiors of carved oak, tapestried walls, and crystal chandeliers untouched by time.
Today it is a private estate for hire, one party at a time, with the run of the Château, the grounds, and every room within them. No shared calendars, no other guests. Only yours, for as long as you've booked it.
Explore the RoomsFrom the panelled library to the crystal-lit salons, each space has kept its original character, and each can be dressed for your day.
Crimson damask walls, twin crystal chandeliers, and a carved marble chimneypiece make this the Château's most theatrical room, ideal for a reception or late-night dancing.
Floor-to-ceiling oak shelving, a marble bust or two, and tall windows over the park. A hushed, handsome room for vows, readings, or a quiet drink before dinner.
A full-size antique table beneath a run of gilded chandeliers, the natural gathering point once the formal part of the evening is done.
A grand piano beneath a wall of arched windows and hand-blocked wallpaper, a favoured spot for a string quartet or a first dance rehearsal.
Salons, library, dining room, and billiard room, the Château's principal spaces for ceremonies, dinners, and receptions.
Sixteen individually decorated bedroom suites, each with a private bathroom, sleeping up to forty guests in total.
Formal parterres, a wooded allée, and a private lake, space enough for a marquee, a ceremony under the trees, or fireworks over the water.
The park unfolds from the Château's front steps into fifty-one hectares of woodland, formal lawns, and a still, mirror-flat lake with its own small island.
Guests wander the tree-lined allées by day and gather at the water's edge by evening, the whole estate enclosed and private, with no view of the outside world.

The Château's most opulent suite, a gilded bedroom beneath a coffered gold-leaf ceiling, with its own ensuite marble bathroom and a private sitting room for morning coffee.
A private sitting room within the signature suite, leopard and tartan wing chairs, floor-to-ceiling leather-bound volumes, and a marble chimneypiece under a crystal chandelier.
A deep plum bedroom with its own dressing room and ensuite bathroom, a clawfoot tub and double marble vanity beneath tall garden-facing windows.
