A beautiful 18th-century building, boasting a vast park crossed by the Aube River, including a vast pond and an orangery. The castle is located right next to the abbey, but unfortunately it is privately owned and cannot be visited.

The Douix or Douix de Châtillon is an abundant outflow at the origin of a short river of the same name which feeds the upper course of the Seine. The place is calm and idyllic as desired 👍🏽
