Journée au château

Dive into the heart of history for an exceptional day exploring two of Avoise's private châteaux, one of which is usually closed to the public. Designed as an intimate experience, this day invites you to experience heritage in a different way, up close and personal with those who have kept it alive for generations.

Morning - Château de Dobert :

Welcome and exclusive tour.
The day begins at Château de Dobert, nestling in a meander of the Vègre, whose waters still feed its moat today. You'll be welcomed with a cup of coffee, then guided by the owners, whose family has lived within these walls since 1460. They'll share with you the history of the château, punctuated by anecdotes from the family archives.
The tour includes
- The discovery of the exterior and the wooded park.
- The exceptional 18th-century aqueduct.
- A tour of several of the interior rooms, including a previously unseen room, opened especially for the day.

Lunch at Château de Dobert:
A convivial moment in an exceptional setting.
At the end of the tour, you'll enjoy lunch at Château de Dobert, included in the price of the day. It's a great way to extend your discussions and savour the unique atmosphere of a place steeped in history.

Afternoon - Château de Pescheseul :

A private château that is exceptionally open.
The afternoon continues at Château de Pescheseul, a private property rarely open to the public.
The visit, led by the owner's granddaughter, will take you through the centuries, taking in the exterior of the château, the chapel and the superb orangery, bathed in light and opening onto a meadow stretching down to the Sarthe. The Champagne Tower, a vestige of the Hundred Years' War, and the rounded facades inspired by trips to Italy are all part of the harmonious architecture that links past and present.

In order to preserve the quality of the discussions and the exclusive nature of the experience, this day is offered in limited groups: - Maximum: 20 participants.
Minimum: 8 participants.
The Tourist Office reserves the right to cancel the day if the minimum number of participants is not reached.
