Château de la Droitière, Historic castle and park in Mauves-sur-Loire, France.
The Château de la Droitière features neoclassical architecture from the 18th century and stands within an eleven-hectare parkland.
Built in the 17th century by Nantes merchants, the estate was purchased in 1867 by Victor Fleury and his wife Mathilde Verne.
The castle regularly hosted writer Jules Verne, who developed his interests in photography, science, and botany with his brother-in-law.
Visitors can explore the park from the first weekend of May to the last weekend of September, on Saturdays and Sundays with audio guides.
The park combines classical French style with English gardens and contains numerous rare trees imported during the 19th century.
