About Château de Dormans
On the Champagne wine route beside the river Marne, the Château de Dormans is a fine château set in a beautiful park, in a place forever marked by history: it stands close to the great Memorial of the Battles of the Marne, the two decisive First World War battles fought nearby. The château, of medieval origin and rebuilt over the centuries, presents a graceful silhouette amid its landscaped grounds, ponds and fine trees, offering peaceful walks. In the park, the striking memorial chapel commemorates the soldiers who fought and died in the Marne. Elegant, historic and beautifully set among the vineyards of Champagne, the Château de Dormans offers a pleasant blend of heritage, parkland and remembrance, a rewarding stop on the Champagne route between Épernay and Château-Thierry, in the countryside where the fate of France was once decided. It touches on the history of war and remembrance.
