Home description

A unique hunting-lodge, in the heart of the Argonne forest, on a centuries old estate with its hilltop Chateau, Pigeonnier and Park in the Champagne.

The hunting-lodge is part of a harmonious estate of 6 ha with a park and a XVIth-XVIIIth century castle on a hill top with beautiful views on unspoilt countryside and forests. The chateau belonged until 1904 to the family of Adelbert von Chamisso, the famous French born (at the chateau de Boncourt, destroyed during the French revolution, hardly a mile away from this estate where his oncle lived and that survived), but German poet (1781-1838), biologist, explorer and creator of Peter Schlemihl, the story of the man who lost his shadow.

The hunting lodge can be rented as a whole, with 5 bedrooms and two living areas, or can be rented separately: App. I has three bedrooms, App.II has two.
