Château de Chazeuil

Ground Floor

Reception Rooms

440 m² of Louis XIII grandeur with 4.7-metre ceilings

About This Level

The ground floor of the château unfolds as a sequence of reception rooms in enfilade, the classic French arrangement where rooms connect through aligned doorways, creating long perspectives and a sense of ceremonial procession. The present building is a faithful 19th-century rebuild in the Louis XIII style, on the site of earlier houses, the first of them built in the 12th century.

You enter through the Grand Vestibule (90 m²), anchored by a wide oak stairway with double flights rising to the first floor. To one side, the Grand Salon (75 m²) has a carved stone fireplace with caryatid figures, a crystal chandelier, herringbone oak parquet and fabric-trimmed wallpapers. The Second Salon (52 m²) mirrors it with a marble fireplace and oak paneling. The Bureau-Bibliothèque (50 m²) holds leather sofas, Persian rugs and shelves of historical volumes. The Fumoir, the Salle à Manger (56 m²) and the Cuisine (28 m²) complete the floor. Ceilings throughout rise to 4.7 metres.
