Description from the manager
Chateau de Mairie is a beautiful 17th Century Monument Historique set in 10 hectares of lovely gardens and wooded grounds with its own private chapel. The gardens were designed by Le Notre who was a famous garden architect in his day and well known for the gardens he created at Versailles. The chateau has had an interesting past, it was visited by Charles II whilst he was in exile and occupied by the Germans during World War II. Now it is our home which we have sympathetically decorated and furnished using traditional colours and antiques. There is a very relaxed atmosphere here, lots of open fireplaces to relax infront of in winter and some... pretty spots in the grounds to laze away sunny afternoons. For the more active there is a small beach on the Marne River, just 200 yards or so away, tennis in the village, plenty of lovely walks and cycle paths to explore and horse riding close by. We are resident owners - on hand to give any information about the area or to prepare breakfasts or other meals if you wish. Our guest see as much or as little of us as they choose as we have a completely private wing of the chateau with no shared facilities.
The chateau is available to hire on a self catering basis for up to 23 people in ten bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The tower, with one double bedroom and a double sofa bed in the living room, along with the gatehouse, sleeping five in one single and two double bedrooms, can also be rented making it possible to sleep up to 32 guests. We have additional baby travel cots if needed, no extra charge. First Floor • Two interconnecting double bedrooms, sharing a bathroom with bath and shower, and separate WC. • Large double bedroom with extra single bed, en-suite shower room. • Twin bedroom with en-suite bathroom. • Double bedroom with extra single bed and en-suite bathroom. • Huge double bedroom (the bridal suite) with extra single bed and en-suite bathroom with bath and shower cubicle. • Two further double bedrooms each with their own en-suite shower rooms. • Interconnecting double and twin bedrooms, sharing bathroom with bath and shower, separate WC. Ground Floor Large entrance hall, housing the grand piano, the main salon with lots of comfy sofas, open fireplace, plenty of tables and chairs for card and board games, an ipod docking system and the billiard table, the dining room (seating for up to 24) with a lovely open fireplace, kitchen (large breakfast table, three electric ovens, plenty of gas hobs, fridge, freezer, two dishwashers and all the gadgets you would expect). There is also a downstairs WC and laundry room, plenty of outside tables and chairs, a gas BBQ and of course the marquee. WIFI connection. Gatehouse: two double and one small single bedroom on the first floor, ground floor bathroom, sleeping five Tower: top floor double bedroom with en-suite shower room, first floor double sofa-bed available Note: The dining room at the chateau is not huge, so we would recommend that if you are taking the whole estate you do so in the warmer months, March - October - then you can enjoy meals either outside or in the marquee, which can seat up to 50. If you do wish to stay here during the Winter with a big group then you would really need to consider more informal eating options.
*Please note, locations shown on the maps are approximations only The chateau is located in a small village within walking distance of the local restaurant. The closest shops are 5 minutes drive away which include a boulangerie, pharmacy and 'corner shop'. The lovely old town of Chalons en Champagne is about 10 minutes drive where you can find large supermarkets and a covered market three times a week. Here you will also find the Grande Romaine golf course. The cathedral city of Reims is about 30 minutes away and Disneyland and Paris itself are within an hour by TGV. We are three hours drive from Calais and just under two from Paris Charles de Gaulle airport. We are in the heart of Champagne country and can point you in the direction of the 'route de champagne' which takes you through some pretty villages where you can taste and buy champagne and wine from small family owned producers and from the biggest champagne houses in the world.
We are happy to prepare meals for you, with prices from 25 euros for a four course dinner and we offer a selection of wines from about 8 euros per bottle. Alternatively we can give you details of the local caterers who will make up a selection of menus with various prices from which to choose.

We offer breakfast at 10 euros per person (5 euros for under 10's), and champagne breakfasts for 18 euros per head. Breakfast is served in the dining room at a time to suit you. We can also offer the services of a driver if you would like to be able to go champagne tasting without worrying about the car. This can be arranged for up to 8 people.
From the moment we drove into the circle driveway, I was in love with this place! We were there for my partners 50th birthday for a week from March 22-29. A group of 16 of our guests were going to show up for this stay. Michele was amazing, with attention to detail, tulips in the salon and hallways, helping appoint rooms for our guests, having a roaring fire in the fireplace. My partner and I showed up a day before everyone was to arrive, and we were able to spend time getting to know her and know about the property. We did a surprise masked ball for my partner, and everything from costumes to dinner and dessert was planned and breathtaking! Michele and Franz are amazing, so is Hank, and there hospitality is unbeatable.
Spent the weekend here with some friends. I cannot rate this place enough. The owners did everything possible to make sure we had a great time. We had dinner in the Chateau on Saturday which was of the highest quality. The wine list is extensive and well priced, the bedrooms are huge and comfortable. Acres of amazing woodland, lakes etc to be explored.
This venue has it all. Would be perfect for a large group of friends.
