Château des comtes de Challes

The castle spans across 2 hectares of land featuring an arboretum and provides panoramic mountain views from its elevated position in Savoie.

Originally constructed as a wine farm, the fortress underwent transformation by the Counts of Challes during the fifteenth century before passing to the Milliet family.

The castle holds a collection of wines in its fifteenth-century cellar, where visitors participate in tastings and learn about regional wine production.

The establishment contains 58 rooms distributed across the main building, Orangerie, and park residence, with rates starting from 120 euros per night.

Doctor Domenget discovered sulfurous water sources on the grounds, while author Louis Aragon concealed his early writings within a tree in the park.
