May each guest make themselves comfortable, even if Mr. Marius Cote, owner of the Château de Chazey in the middle of the 19th century, is absent on business, his butler has the honor and the privilege of receiving you as it should be for an exclusive evening and site visit.

Attentive to the smallest detail, after a passage through the kitchens and an appetizer in the guard room, the butler will guide the guests to the assault of the stairs of the keep, with stops in the library, the bedroom or the chapel. He will reveal the secrets of these walls with a somewhat outdated atmosphere...

On the menu of the festivities: A menu inspired by Jules Gouffé, cook of Napoleon III (pardon the little).
- Poultry, mushroom or vegetable bites (artichoke) / Fruit or almond tarts.
- All washed down with a small glass* of absinthe or Quinquina, very fashionable drinks in the middle of the 19th century
