Baron Jacques de la Grange, advisor to King Louis XIV, builds the Château de Courcelles.
L\'histoire du Château de Courcelles représente parfaitement celle de la France.
Construit à la fin du XVIIe siècle, pendant le règne du Roi Soleil, le Château vécu ensuite au rythme du passage des philosophes des Lumières.
Occupé par les Allemands durant les deux grandes guerres, il fut ensuite acheté par Monsieur Bonjean, marchand d\'art, antiquaire et collectionneur français fasciné par le XVIIe siècle. Il y recevra régulièrement ses amis, notamment Christian Dior, parrain de sa fille l’actrice Geneviève Page, mais aussi Jean Cocteau, qui aurait dessiné la rampe de l’escalier principal lors d’un de ses séjours.
