Two years ago, Marie and I fell in love with this 600-year-old woman. It was love at first sight. This house chose us and we dived. A life and couple project for the next 50 years!
Since we had the keys to the castle of Huillé in December 2021, we have worked a lot in the gardens that were going fallow, and worked on the project to save the structure of the building whose durability was questioned following an unfortunate transformation initiative in the eighteenth. This very technical study accompanied by expert appraisals by archaeologists lasted longer than expected and the start of work was renewed in the fall of 2023. But we still made small progress that we invite you to discover.
You were more than 400 to visit us last year and we were carried by such enthusiasm. We look forward to seeing you for this next edition and invite those who could not find us!
This year again, Marie’s ceramics workshop will be open for the occasion, and you can appreciate the evolution of her artistic work,
** Saturday 10h-13h30 14h30-19h30
Guided tour of the castle every ½ hours (registration required).
Free access to the park.

Exceptional opening of the interiors and the park.
A year ago, Marie and I fell in love with this 600-year-old Lady. A real love at first sight. This house chose us and we dived.
Since we got the keys to the Chateau d'Huillé last December, we have worked a lot in the gardens that were falling into the wasteland, gradually allowing themselves to be invaded by the waste of trees, Rosebushes can be up to 3 metres high, covering or partially entering buildings. We have already taken control of much of the park, trying to save a bicentennial cedar damaged by two stormy episodes, cleared and rediscovered wonders including a greenhouse, probably a cooler and an old school.
The most remarkable remains the building itself; built on a 13th-century vaulted cellar, composed of a main house from the very beginning of the 15th century, covered with an exceptional structure in the overturned boat hull. It was taken the liberty in the eighteenth to cut the sand pits to accommodate three dormers in the
