Reception

THE CHÂTEAU DE CRAON WILL SEDUCE YOU WITH ITS ENCHANTING AND PRESERVED SETTING

“There, all is order and beauty, Luxury, calm and pleasure

Gleaming furniture, polished by the years, would decorate our room; The rarest flowers mingling their odours with the vague scents of amber, The rich ceilings, the deep mirrors, the oriental splendour, Everything would speak to the soul in secret its sweet native language. [...] The setting suns cover the fields, the world falls asleep in a warm light...”.

These words by Charles Baudelaire elegantly reflect the royal setting of the Château de Craon.

A UNIQUE SITE, MULTIPLE POSSIBILITIES

For your cocktail party, you can receive your guests on the château's terrace overlooking the French garden or take advantage of the natural shade of the lime trees.

You can walk from the church and the town hall to the park and welcome your guests with a glass of champagne around the round pond in an idyllic setting.

The ground floor of the château can also be privatised for a reception in a grandiose setting.

If the weather is uncertain, you will have 2 large sheltered areas at your disposal.

It is also possible to choose a cocktail party in the castle, which is very pleasant in mid-season or in winter.

Secular ceremonies can be held in the lime tree nave in the French garden, or in the shed opposite the former stables of the château.

The chapel is consecrated and can host religious services.

The site is privatised for you on the day of your reception.
