DOMAIN OF THE CASTLE OF ARCELOT
An estate of ponds, wooded and flowery avenues, gentle slopes and forests.
This superb private château, a former parliamentary residence that has remained in the same family since it was built in the 18th century, is a listed historic monument. A guided tour of this neoclassical château reveals the history of the de Loisy family, life in the 18th century and the life of Burgundy's parliamentarians. Twelve rooms with 18th- and 19th-century decor and furnishings have been well preserved thanks to the family's direct heirs, in particular Louise-Adélaïde Verchère. The grand staircase with its trompe-l'œil ceiling opening onto the sky, the Tsar's bedroom, the chapel, the yellow room, the library, the billiard room and the dining room are all superb. The most dazzling room is the grand salon, with its colored stuccowork and polychrome marble, the most beautiful room in Burgundy, according to Courtépée. No château without a park: created in 1805 by Jean-Marie Morel, this English-style park has been awarded the "Jardin remarquable" label and is the best preserved of the landscape architect's creations. With a surface area of 45 hectares, including 7 hectares of pond, it is home to wild animals such as egrets and herons, as well as penned animals and remarkable trees such as the Atlas cedar, the giant sequoia and a 19th-century Chinese pagoda. A true spectacle of nature! Reception areas (Pressoir, Caveau, Trianon) can accommodate all types of events, from 120 to 1,200 people. Finally, we love the children's booklet and the Marquis and Marquise Costumes option for ages 4 to 14.
