Bienvenue au
Chateau du Fresne
Champéon
Art & Expo
At Château du Fresne we are very passionate about Art & Culture. Therefore, we strive for the Château to be a place to present art exhibitions as well as providing Residencies for Artists.
We hope that through these art exhibitions and artist-in-residence programs we can enrich the cultural landscape of the community and the region, by showcasing diverse artistic expressions, styles, and perspectives and hence creating opportunities for collaboration and networking between artists, curators, art institutions, and the local community. At the same time, hosting art exhibitions and artist-in-residence programs can promote creativity, cultural exchange, and dialogue, while also contributing to the social, educational, and economic aspects of the community.

Rooms
The main bedroom suites - on the 1st floor of the chateau - have all specific decorations and an annexing room for your comfort. All the rooms offer a double bed, and the annex rooms could function as a wardrobe or a basic "Salle de Bain".
All the suites offer a different impression and enjoy lots of daylight, with big windows and views of the garden. The rooms are referred to by the color tones of each room, being Blue, Red & Green.
The Chateau
Château du Fresne is a historic gem, proclaimed Patrimoine Historique by the French state. The chateau is located in Champéon, amongst the green valley’s surrounding Mayenne. The region is known for its castles and Chateau du Frense is no exception, containing a longstanding and well documented history.
The main building is accredited with the paramount level of monumental status, consisting of several salons with ornamental woodworks, and a myriad of paintings on the walls and ceilings on the ground floor. The upper level provides several big periodic suites, all containing big windows offering fantastic views on the surrounding gardens. On the premises there are also two other stables, a 12th century medieval chapel, and a dovecote (built in 1536), that is unique in the region and enjoys similarly monumental status as safeguarded heritage.
