SIMPLY EXCEPTIONAL
A thousand years of history in the heart of Franche-Comté
Château de Roche has watched over the banks of the Loue for more than a thousand years, at the edge of Arc-et-Senans where the river meets the vast Forêt de Chaux – one of France’s great woodlands. Today, it is a place for gatherings shaped by art, conversation, and nature: intimate dinners, concerts, exhibitions, and encounters. With its own vineyards, working gardens, and a deep love of wine, the château honours the rhythms of the land. It invites you to come close – to the land, to each other, and to something lasting.
