About la Ferte Saint Aubin
Add to favoritesChâteau Life in Sologne Nicknamed "the castle of games," the Château de La Ferté Saint-Aubin is distinguished by its warm atmosphere and majestic architecture surrounded by a moat. Located just 15 minutes from Orléans, this vast estate in the Loire Valley spans 40 hectares. Unlike static museums, this château is explored like a still-lived family home. From the historic kitchens, where the aroma of madeleines lingers, to the state rooms, the site invites visitors to touch, explore, and connect with the history of Sologne through the centuries. The experience is unique thanks to its "self-guided tour" concept. You can explore the château's seven floors, from the cellars to the attic, and discover an impressive collection of antique wooden games. The park, a verdant haven, also features a miniature train station and stables. Whether you are a fan of classical architecture or looking for a family outing in the Loiret, the Château de La Ferté Saint-Aubin offers an enchanting interlude where heritage is discovered while having fun.
Tip for an even more exceptional visit.
My number one recommendation: don't miss the demonstrations in the historic kitchens. They often host cooking demonstrations over a wood fire, and you can sample the famous honey madeleines baked on-site—a delicacy for which the site is renowned. To fully enjoy the outdoor activities and giant games in the park, allow at least three hours for your visit. The site is particularly lively at Easter and Christmas, with spectacular decorations and treasure hunts. Insider tip: The castle offers "Crime Trails" (Escape Games) and immersive investigations in the hidden parts of the estate. If you enjoy puzzles, book one of these nighttime sessions to discover the secrets of the former owners from a more mysterious perspective. Finally, wear comfortable shoes, as the grounds are vast and the castle's many stairs will be a workout for your legs!
