Location reference: BRIGHT

This 17th-century castle available for photoshoots and film productions is located 35 km southwest of Paris, within an exceptional 750,000 m² estate featuring formal French gardens, ornamental ponds, landscaped pathways and wooded areas.

The location offers a rare setting for audiovisual productions, editorial shoots, advertising campaigns and film productions looking for an elegant, monumental and timeless aesthetic.
