The castle Fey is located in the municipality of Villecien in the Yonne, 25 km south of Sens.
Located atop a hill overlooking the valley of the Yonne, it was built from 1620 instead of a first century castle belonging to the lord of the manor.
In the seventeenth century, is an advisor to King Louis XIII who had built the new castle in the style of the time, but also with common (barns, presses).
Having accommodated famous guests like St. Vincent de Paul and Ninon de l'Enclos courtesan, the domain remains in the same family until 1751, then bought by Melchior Baron Chamousset. The latter arrange reception rooms decorated with wood decors. Long alleys are traced through the forest of 40 hectares surrounding the castle.
In the 1980s, the site became the property of Mark Cherniavsky and Anne Willan that make the area an extension of the school of Varenne, which trains chefs.
Protected as historical monuments, the castle and its grounds were bought a few years ago. This magnificent area now hosts seminars and family events. Visit possible. Information +33 6 68 27 82 12.
