Dive into the past of the Château de la Groirie
History of a 17th century castle

Heir to a rich past, the Château de la Groirie reveals its 17th-century origins, marked in particular by the turmoil of the Vendée Wars, commemorated by a plaque.

The current elegant residence embodies all the refinement of classical French architecture. Listed as a historic monument, the adjoining salons and the majestic staircase have been restored with rare care. But it is the sundial in the park that will capture your attention.

About ten years ago, captivated by the nobility of the place, the current owners undertook a meticulous restoration, respectful of the soul of the estate. Today, the Château de la Groirie combines living heritage and luxury hospitality in a preserved green setting.

While guests stay in the elegantly restored outbuildings, the family lives within the château, perpetuating a tradition of hospitality and the French art of living. The outbuildings and common areas were already welcoming guests in the 17th century!

The history of the Château is intertwined with that of the family!

The words of Gaëtane Durand Lépine: "Every day, our hearts beat for La Groirie!

La Groirie is not just an exceptional place, a 17th-century château in an incredible green setting. It's also the place we fell in love with, a place that changed our lives, but which enriches them every day... It is in this spirit of sharing and passion that we meet the guests who wish to stay here: these are not hotel guests we welcome, but guests I receive, in the heart of my home. »

Today, Philippine and Lancelot, son and daughter-in-law of the current owners, have taken up the torch and welcome you with the same passion, enthusiasm, and devotion.
