Chateau des Temps | 10-Bedroom Chateau in Pleurs Euvy

Twenty guests spread across a 17th-century chateau in Pleurs means serious space, serious history, and serious wine country credentials. Chateau des Temps sits on six hectares of parkland in the heart of Champagne’s Côte de Blanc, a region that transforms every meal into an occasion and every morning into an adventure through vineyards and villages.

Inside Chateau des Temps

Chateau des Temps sleeps 20 guests across 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, each bedroom featuring its own en-suite facilities. The property preserves centuries of character—original carved marble fireplaces, solid oak flooring, and architectural details that speak to generations of French elegance.

The ground floor unfolds with generous proportions. An entrance hall leads into a sprawling informal salon anchored by a billiard table, grand piano, and working fireplace; a dedicated study nook sits quietly in the corner. The formal salon faces garden views through tall doors, with its own fireplace and seating for contemplative afternoons. A dining space accommodates 24 people around the table—crucial for groups where everyone gathers at once. The kitchen operates at professional standards: two dishwashers, commercial-grade cooker, separate electric oven, full hob, microwave, and generous refrigeration ensure meal preparation never becomes a bottleneck, even when feeding a full house.

First floor accommodation comprises four king-size bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms (each fitted with bath and overhead shower), plus one twin bedroom with matching en-suite. Second floor mirrors this arrangement: four additional king-size rooms with en-suite bathrooms, and another twin bedroom with en-suite facilities. Every bathroom includes bath products, hairdryers, and proper toweling—details that matter when 20 people share one roof.

Guest amenities throughout include Wi-Fi (accessible from ground floor), a 55-inch French television, honesty bar for evening drinks, and practical provisions: iron and ironing boards, hairdryers in each room, and DVD player for quiet evenings. The dual fireplaces provide both ambient warmth and architectural focal points during cooler months.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The six-hectare grounds offer multiple environments within walking distance. A heated swimming pool measuring 12 metres by 6 metres remains temperature-controlled year-round—essential for shoulder seasons when the Champagne air turns crisp. Safety alarm systems protect younger guests. Beyond the pool’s perimeter, landscaped parkland includes active streams and wooden bridges creating natural pathways through the property, while a private lake provides visual focus and a sense of retreat from everyday noise.

A pétanque court sits ready for afternoon competition, while the grounds’ scale means groups naturally subdivide into smaller activities without constraint. The gardens flow naturally from manicured areas near the chateau into wilder parkland, offering spaces both intimate and expansive.

Location: Pleurs and the Surrounding Area

Pleurs itself functions as a genuine village rather than a tourist destination. A small supermarket, pharmacy, and hairdresser handle daily essentials without requiring a car journey. This quietness—the absence of throughway traffic and seasonal crowds—defines the experience.

Sezanne lies 15 minutes south by car, a town of genuine character built around a Saturday market that supplies regional producers and local specialities. The medieval town center with its Gothic church, covered market hall, and established cafés offers dining and provisioning without the synthetic quality of larger destinations. Vineyards operate both north and south of the chateau’s location, making day trips to Champagne producers straightforward: the Côte de Blanc houses Avize, Vertus, and Cramant—villages synonymous with Chardonnay excellence—within 30-40 minutes’ drive.

For cultural ambition, Provins (50km northeast) stands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site containing 58 listed monuments. The medieval fortified town divides into upper and lower sections connected by subterranean passages and ancient gateways—genuinely immersive medieval architecture rather than reconstructed theme parks. Troyes, approximately 60km west, delivers fine regional cuisine and excellent buildings spanning centuries; outlet shopping appears nearby at Pont Saint Marie for those requiring retail distraction.

Epernay (50km north) represents the commercial heart of Champagne production, while Reims beyond that adds cathedral grandeur and additional wine house visits. The Montagnes de Reims region north of Epernay spreads quaint vineyard villages across accessible countryside. A small leisure area featuring a lake, beach, and indoor swimming pool sits just 5km away, ideal for households with young children requiring water-based entertainment beyond the private pool.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Multi-generational family reunions find the space essential: grandparents, adult children, partners, and grandchildren each claim separate bedrooms without compromise. Ten bathrooms prevent the bottleneck friction that defines shared family properties.

Business groups using the chateau as a working retreat benefit from the formal salon’s study desk, drawing-room quiet, and sufficient accommodation that colleagues never feel crowded. The billiard table and grand piano suggest entertainment beyond conference room debate.

Friendship groups—especially those interested in wine—appreciate both the privacy that 20-person capacity provides and proximity to serious wine producers. The dining space’s 24-person capacity suits group meals where breaking into smaller seatings feels fragmented.

Couples seeking a country escape with a few close friends find the chateau’s formality and space ideal for entertaining without hotel-like impersonality.
