Bouville, Upper Normandy 91880

The Farcheville Castle is a privately owned castle in the Essonne (Ile de France, France). The castle was built between 1290 and 1304 to Hugues II de Bouville and other construction periods have occurred in the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth century. Set in the heart of beautifully preserved countryside, the Chteau de Farcheville is a unique medieval treasure, a mere 45 minutes from the bustle of Paris. In the Chteau and its surrounding 420 hectares of forests and hunting grounds, one willfind a haven of peace and security. After 14 years of renovation work by the most highly qualified restoration companies and artists, under the direction of a dedicated and talented Historical Monument architect, for an owner demanding absolute perfection, Chteau de Farcheville is perhaps today the most magnificent private property in France. The Chteau offers all the facilities and comfort required by modern life, without compromising the integrity of its architecture and history. The Chteaus layout, with its central enclosed and protected cobblestone courtyard, creates a warm and cosy ambience whether it serves the needs of a reclusive couple or for the entertainment of a large number of guests. Its size and design never give the feeling of emptiness, nor excessive fullness.
