Château des Comtes de Challes :
Hotel at Challes-les-Eaux
A beautiful 2-hectare park with its unique arboretum in Savoie, a 180° view of the mountains, and 600 years of history in a building with a medieval footprint: welcome to the Château des Comtes de Challes, a hotel and event venue for weddings and seminars in Challes-les-Eaux. At the gates of Chambéry, our historic family home resonates with a soul that touches the heart.
Between sincere hospitality and the joy of hosting, colorful gastronomy, a 15th-century cellar, and wine-tasting evenings, along with a pool and a relaxed way of life, emotions bounce in all directions.
A family home
Can you hear the stones tell the story of the Château? The tale of a wine-growing farm transformed into a fortress by the Counts of Challes in the 15th century, later passed down through the Milliet family, marquises of Challes. The story of Dr. Domenget, who discovered a sulfur spring here, and of Louis Aragon, who hid his childhood writings in the hollow of a tree in the park.
Happy nobility, heritage, strokes of fortune—the building whispers six centuries of history. Today, the Trèves family shares it through heartfelt hospitality and a love for fine living that adds vibrant flavors to cherished memories.
