The Chateau d'Apigne is one of the loveliest castle hotels in France.

A private building called La Serre (The Greenhouse) can be rented for business events or private functions. A heliport area is also located on the grounds. Gourmet dishes inspired by the chef’s international travels are served in the hotel’s formal restaurant, Les Tourelles (The Turrets).
