Ideally situated in the heart of the ‘Pays de France’, the estate of Champlâtreux was established from 1515, and then bought in 1614 by the Molé family who enlarged it to its present size. Belonging to the noblesse de robe, the Molés held the highest positions from the Ancient Regime to the end of the Restoration. The family’s last scion, Mathieu-Louis, Count Molé, was a cabinet member under Napoleon the First and Prime Minister under King Louis-Philippe who held a Cabinet meeting in the château. Champlâtreux hosted and inspired famous writers such as Chateaubriand, one of Count Molé’s closest friends, and the poetess Anna de Noailles who often stayed here during the interwar years. Visit to the park and the stables: From 1st July to 15th August, from 10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. The castle is closed on sunday. Interior of the château: On request for groups.
