Imagine large expanses of totally tranquil woodland surrounding a Château with a moat, stone bridges, turrets and facades enlivened with niches, lacy balconies and sculptures: a real jewel slumbering since the death in 1968 of its last inhabitant and owner, Edouard de La Rochefoucauld.
During the XIXth century, the Château of Esclimont became the property of the La Rochefoucauld family and Marie-Charles-Gabriel-Sosthène began in 1865 an immense work of restoration confided to the Parent brothers, emulators of Viollet le Duc.
At the end of the XXth century, the Château is transformed into a luxury hotel.
In 1981, Laure-Suzanne-Marie Maingard de Mailly et de Nesle d'Orange, granddaughter and heir of Edouard de La Rochefoucauld who died in 1968, cedes the Château and its park to the hotel chain "Grandes Etapes Françaises" then chaired by René Traversac.
The Château underwent interior transformations, respecting the authencity of the site, allowing it to start a new life.
In January 2015 the Château has a new owner : Mr Yang Changlin, owner of the Tianci Hotspring Group in China.
