1690-1694
Baron Jacques de la Grange, advisor to King Louis XIV, builds the Château de Courcelles.
A PROPERTY RICH OF HISTORY
The Château’s rich history is representative of the history of France. Built during the 17th century, at the same period as Château de Versailles, the Castle was the theater of many important periods: visits of philosophers from the Age of Enlightenment, occupation by the Germans during World War I and World War II, then property of Mr. Bonjean, an art dealer and collector and in the years after he acquired it, he welcomed famous and illustrious guests, such as fashion king Christian Dior. It’s also rumored that artist Jean Cocteau drew the main staircase during a visit, a tale that highlights the meticulous attention to detail in the Château’s design and furnishings.
