The castle is a place of great importance in the universe of Marcel Proust. Situated in a splendid setting, it was the vacation home of the Swanns, fictional characters in the novel "La voie de Swann". The castle, was used as a bourgeois setting by Charles Swann, his wife Odette, and their daughter Gilberte for their summer vacations. In this first volume of "In Search of Lost Time", Proust painstakingly depicts the life of the French upper middle class at the end of the 19th century, focusing on the relationships and love affairs of the characters. The castle, meanwhile, is described as a place of both luxury and melancholy, where the characters seek to escape the routine of daily life. The décor of the château, inspired by the spirit of Napoléon III, is also an essential element of the story. The furniture, tapestries, and works of art that adorn the rooms are described with great precision, allowing the reader to immerse himself in Proust's world and to be transported into this bygone era. In short, a visit to this legendary house is a unique experience that allows one to understand the author's world better and to immerse oneself in the atmosphere of his time. The owner offers a choice of rooms, some located in outbuildings near the castle, while others are the rooms of Charles and Odette Swann.
