Further details: Extended in 1840 by the Baron Denis Durosier de Magneux de Verpré, the Château du Four de Vaux is an elegant French château of 1000 sqm set in a 5-hectare estate. The Baron de Verpré, an eccentric character and renowned womanizer, had the five towers added to lock up his numerous lady friends when receiving new companions!

Its subsequent owners, the Vyau de Vaudreuil family of Fontenay, who were great lovers of hunting, bred dogs on the adjoining farm for hunting wild boar and roe-deer.

The château is set in 5 hectares of grounds with various walks and places to relax.
The centuries-old oaks, plane trees, and Scots pines are an attraction in themselves. The gardens also boast a fish-filled ornamental lake, vegetable garden, an old chapel, an outdoor swimming pool, children?s play area, and poneys.
