Château de Barbirey

En un regard

Le château en bref

A dependency of the barony of Marigny since the Middle Ages, the estate of Barbirey was acquired in the 18th century by the banker Jean Pâris de Monmartel; after his death, his son, the Marquis de Brunoy, had the main residence rebuilt. In the 19th century, the château passed to Raymond de Blic and his wife Marie de Foucauld, sister of Father Charles de Foucauld, who stayed there on several occasions. Listed as a historic monument, the estate has an 8-hectare park bearing the 'Jardin remarquable' (Remarkable Garden) label. Today it hosts weddings, seminars and gatherings of family and friends, offers guest rooms and guided tours, and organises regular events such as the 'Entre cour et jardins' festival (3 and 4 October 2026); a historic bread oven is fired up there, notably during the spring festivities on 1 May.
