Château de Thorey-Lyautey

Château de Thorey-Lyautey is a residence in Thorey-Lyautey with rooms filled with period furniture and a Moroccan salon displaying North African decorative pieces. The rooms reveal how the house was lived in, with personal objects and collections arranged throughout.

A military marshal acquired this 18th-century manor house in 1920 and carried out major renovations until 1925. The work reflected his professional experience in North Africa.

The residence reflects Marshal Lyautey's personal connection to Morocco, with rooms arranged to show his life and interests across two continents. Visitors can see how his experiences abroad shaped the way he decorated and organized his French home.

Visitors should know that the building is only open during certain times of year and on specific days of the week. Weekend afternoons tend to be when rooms are best prepared for touring.

The property includes a large park designed by the former owner himself, featuring elements that reflect his affection for North African landscapes. This green space offers visitors a peaceful retreat after exploring indoors.
