Disabled visitors
The guided tour of the château is accessible to people with reduced mobility: a lift can be made available (for standard-size wheelchairs).
The first part of the park, from the château to La Foulerie and the Japanese Garden, is accessible via tarmac and cobbled paths. The rest of the park is made up of lawns, which are difficult to walk on in bad weather.
Wheelchairs can be made available on request (please email us beforehand).
For all requests, please contact us by email at info@domainedecourances.com.

Our news
SAMEDI 14 SEPTEMBRE ET SAMEDI 26 OCTOBRE
We are delighted to announce new dates for our dinners at La Foulerie. For the 2024 season, we welcome a duo of chefs: Tracy Zeidan and Théa Nasrallah. Of Lebanese origin, the two sisters have created ‘Toutia’, a veritable field of culinary expression combining their shared passions for architecture, photography and cuisine.
For the Domaine de Courances, Tracy and Théa have devised a series of two events ‘variations on a seasonal vegetable’: tomatoes in September and mushrooms in October. The menu will be designed around a bread and food pairing, which will highlight the vegetable and its preparations and will be the main theme of the meal. More than just a dinner, they invite you to share in a game, an experiment in assembling colours, smells, textures and flavours.
Two dinners, two vegetables: give yourself the opportunity to come once, twice, three times to discover their world and extend the experience...
