The Chateau de Villersexel is like a one of a kind charming gîte where you will be accommodated in the fashion of paying guests in a convivial and family atmosphere.
The castle has kept its furniture as it was a hundred years ago and its owners still live in it thus offering you a real taste of French history.
More than a gîte or a hotel, the Chateau de Villersexel is simply our house and we are delighted to welcome you here.
Built in only a few years, this castle constitutes one of the most beautiful copies of Louis XIII architecture. It is said that Eiffel and Garnier were the architects. Registered as an Historic Building, the elegant Château de Villersexel is entirely furnished in the style of that period. Lafayette lived in this Historic Chateau.
This is a private Château whose actual owners' family dates back from the time of Charlemagne. Corinne and Jean-Pierre Potet (he doesn't like to be called Baron...but he really owns the title!) are living there with their two children. This is their home and they will definitely enjoy to receive you as paying guests. They are all absolutely charming and will do their utmost to make your stay there unforgettable.
Year after year they renovate and refurbish the bedrooms whose names are steeped in History such as : Empire, Honneur, Rotonde and Montebello. The original Château was destroyed by fire in 1871 and the rebuilt one now houses a fabulous museum you can visit and admire as have done De Gaulle and Churchill who stayed here for a while.
By previous arrangement meals are served in the friendly table d'h�tes style, with a healthy cuisine prepared in the family kitchen.
This Chateau offers a unique venue for all types of events, including weddings, fashion shows and receptions. Meeting rooms (up to 100 people) can host your training courses, seminars or conferences and Villersexel is also an ideal place for shooting films. (Lunches or Diners for groups can be arranged in superb vaulted cellars).
