Château de La Fontaine, Historic castle near Orléans, France
The Château de La Fontaine stands on a 20-hectare estate with two mills, crossed by a branch of the Loiret River.
Religious orders occupied the riverbanks since the 6th century, with the La Madeleine priory nuns owning most of the current park grounds.
The property regularly hosts exhibitions, concerts, and cultural gatherings in its 200-square-meter Orangerie and 250-square-meter Fragrance Greenhouse.
The castle offers spaces for events with capacities ranging from 100 people in theatre style to 300 people for cocktail receptions.
A 10th-century oratory dedicated to Saint Julian, patron of freshwater boatmen, stands on the grounds near a spring known for healing properties.
