A family home in the Bourbonnais, since the 14th century

Le Creux

A classical château designed by an architect of Versailles, passed down unbroken for over seven centuries.

In a quiet valley of the Bourbonnais, along the Aumance, the Château du Creux has watched over the same family line for more than seven centuries. Remodelled in the 1770s by Nicolas-Martial Foacier, architect to the King at Versailles, the house cultivates a sober classicism. Today we open it for driven shooting, stays and private hire, always a lived-in home.

« We were looking for a place with a soul, not a function room. Le Creux gave us far more: a family opening their home, a park where our guests happily lost themselves, and the feeling, come evening, of having lived something rare. »
Claire & Antoine, wedding, June 2025
