The Main Foyer + Grand Salon

The star attraction of the Château’s capacious entry hall is its stunning marble table. The adjacent Grand Salon is a paragon of neoclassical architecture, with French doors that open onto the formal gardens. The salon is resplendent with original limestone floors bearing the patina of countless footsteps, walls of dramatic height clad in fabulous boiserie and unmistakably French furnishings with an abundance of gold gilt, velvets and silks in rich saturated colors. The room is awash with the fabled Loire Valley sunlight streaming in through the striking casement windows. It is equally brilliant in the evenings with the light from our 19th-century signed Baccarat chandelier refracted through its multitude of faceted crystals.
