A fortified castle in Auxois
The fortress at Châteauneuf still stands guard over the hillsides of the Auxois region and the Burgundy Canal, between Dijon and Autun.
Word of Mouth
Acquired in 2008 by the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, the Château de Châteauneuf’s last private owners (1811–1836) were the Vogüés, an illustrious family of the French nobility, the most famous branch of which owns the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte. It was the Count of Vogüé who secured the Château de Châteauneuf’s listing as a Historic Monument in 1894, and his descendants still own the nearby Château de Commarin. In the Ardèche, the Château de Vogüé serves as a reminder of the Vivarais origins of this line of lords. It is situated in the village of the same name… which is also listed among Les Plus Beaux Villages de France!
