Château de Fontenay

Located north of Orléans, in an agricultural region called La Beauce, 70 miles from Paris, this impressive 16th century manor has been a landmark of the village of Fontenay-sur-Conie for more than 400 years.

A British art-collecting retail entrepreneur bought it completely furnished. But its rooms needed an update, so interior designer Tino Zervudachi and his team from Mlinaric, Henry & Zervudachi were appointed to fulfill the task.

If you'd like to read the full story behind this Château just go here.

    Wow, that tree-lined drive up to the property is breathtaking! Lounging by that gorgeous pool would be pretty fantastic right about now. Another great find!

    I'm a big fan of Tino Zervudachi's work, and I agree, the pool area is fabulous.
    He decorated a house in Rio, another fantastic work I read about in AD.
    Beautiful post.

    That is nice to see some pictures of the inside of the castle, and the nice job done. I do live in Fontenay sur Conie and has never seen before the way the castle was build and decorated inside. Looks very good !!! Well done.

    Living so close to this castle and not knowing it very well ... Thank you for the article and the nice pictures.

    Nicolas.
