Find out more about our current projects:
A unique accommodation offer: the installation of 4 eco-lodges in the grounds of the château
The installation of responsible, self-contained accommodation in the grounds, known as eco-lodges, will offer an unusual range of accommodation opposite the château. Nature lovers will be able to discover the Château from a different, more intimate angle.
The creation of five junior suites in the adjoining house
The adjoining 300 m2 house will be converted into five junior suite bedrooms with private bathrooms, strengthening our financial capacity to undertake major work on the château.
The restoration avec the Château
The restoration of the château is the main theme of the La Mothe Chandeniers project. Our aim is to make the entire château accessible to visitors by creating suspended walkways.
In order to finance this ambitious programme, the development of tourism (accommodation, privatisations, visits, events, etc.) is an integral part of our vision.
Restoration of the chapel and its stained glass windows
The first work on the chapel will be to restore its unique stained glass windows.
The chapel at La Mothe Chandeniers is one of the highlights of the visitor experience.
How can I subscribe to a share or offer a share purchase voucher (box)?
The share without the box: for yourself or your minor child only.
If you wish to purchase one or more shares for yourself or your minor child, without the box, simply click on the "INVEST" button.
The share with the box: To offer yourself a share purchase voucher with the "Ma Part du Château" collector's box, simply click on the button: "INVEST VIA THE GIFT BOX".
If you would like more than one box, simply indicate the number of boxes you would like to receive on the form.
Inside, you'll find a membership card with a unique number (16 digits) and a unique code that you'll need to activate the box.
The box must be activated as soon as it is received and before the end of the campaign. After this time, the value of the voucher it represents will be transformed into an anonymous donation to SAS Châteaux Merveilles and the beneficiary of the voucher/box will not benefit from the associated share and will therefore not be a shareholder. The value of the share purchase voucher and the associated delivery charges cannot be reimbursed to the purchaser.

Boxes are sent out every month.
For boxes sent outside France, delays may be added due to postal and customs specificities of each country.
