Château de Craon

An enchanting and preserved setting in Anjou

In Anjou, on the borders of Mayenne, Brittany and Maine, in the heart of a 47-hectare listed park, Craon Castle majestically dominates the small town of the same name from its hill, like a king on his throne.

A jewel of 18th century architecture, considered “the little Versailles” of Mayenne, it is strongly inspired by Marie-Antoinette’s Trianon, whose furniture is still preserved in the salons today.

Located less than an hour from Angers and Rennes, 1h30 from Nantes, Saint Malo, Mont Saint Michel or Le Mans, it is the ideal starting point for visiting the region while enjoying the swimming pool and the tennis after returning from a walk.

In Craon, you arrive as guests and leave as friends, Bertrand and Séverine de Guébriant will welcome you to their family castle where a typically Angevin sweetness of life reigns.
