About Chateau de Troussay
Add to favoritesThe Little Gem of the Loire Valley Nicknamed "the smallest of the Loire châteaux," the Château de Troussay is a privately owned and inhabited residence that charms visitors with its intimate character and family home atmosphere. Originally a 15th-century manor house, it was transformed in the 19th century by Louis de La Saussaye, a scholar who rescued and incorporated precious architectural elements from neighboring estates that had fallen into disrepair. This "artistic folly" offers a perfect summary of the French Renaissance on a human scale, far from the crowds of major tourist sites. A visit reveals a richly furnished and exquisitely detailed interior, notably its oratory and music room. Outside, the estate extends into an English-style park with rare species of trees (cedars of Lebanon, sequoias) and outbuildings that house an ecomuseum dedicated to the Sologne region's past. It is a place where time seems to have stopped, ideal for those seeking authenticity and the discreet charm of the French art of living.
Tip for an even more exceptional visit.
For a truly special experience, I suggest booking an "aperitif tour" (usually offered in the late afternoon, around 4:30 pm). This allows you to discover the château from a more relaxed and sensory perspective, ending the tour with a tasting of local products and regional wines right in the dining room or in the park. It's the perfect opportunity to chat with the owners about the estate's living history while enjoying the absolute tranquility of the Sologne region.
