Chateau de Mairy is a beautiful 17th century
'Monument Historique' set in 30 acres of lovely
grounds with its own private lake and chapel.
The Chateau has had an interesting past, James II stayed
here regularly during his exile in France.
It was owned by the Loisson de Guinaumont since
it was built in 1676.
It is now our home, retaining a wealth of its original features,
furnished with antiques but with an
extremely relaxed atmosphere.
We are located in the pretty village of Mairy sur Marne, walking distance to the local restaurant, clost to the town of Chalons en Champagne in the heart of the Champagne region and within easy reach of the beautiful cathedral city of Reims. We are about one hour by TGV from Paris and Disneyland and an easy three hour drive from Calais.
There are of course hundreds of places to taste and purchase champagne, and if you get bored by drinking so much bubbly there is golf close by or you can enjoy a leisurely stroll through our grounds, or take the boat out on the lake and catch your own dinner!
You can stay at the Chateau on bed and breakfast basis in double or family rooms. We serve an extremely full breakfast in one of the salons at a time to suit our guests. It is also possible to rent the Chateau 'by the wing', or in its entirety for up to 25 people in 11 bedrooms and six bathrooms, (up to 30 people with the cottage); on a self catering basis. Meals can be provided for guests, with 24 hours notice. We can offer the possibility of marriage blessings in our beautiful chapel and cater for this accordingly.
There is also a newly renovated cottage in the grounds which comprises a fully equipped kitchen/breakfast room, living room, bathroom and two double bedrooms. It has heating and wood burning stoves making it suitable for rental all year.
