Château de Contay, an authentic château experience

Chateau de Contay was built in 1753 and on the ground floor during the French Second Empire in the 19th century. With more than 36,000 sqm of grounds, Chateau de Contay sits within the village of Contay and host peacocks, chickens and sheep. It's the perfect place to get out of the city and benefit from a countryside experience with a fireplace during the winter, barbecue during the summer and take some time to live quality time with your loved ones. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy Château de Contay for themselves only, with no one else having access to either the Château or the grounds. Guests will have access to one third of the ground floor and the first floor, comprising of 1 living room, 1 dining room, 1 kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and a study. Chateau de Contay is a family home. We will make ourselves before, during and after your stay. If we cannot be physically here when you arrive, we will guide you by phone and make sure that the housekeeper can welcome you. Chateau de Contay is located in the heart of the WW1 Somme battlefields region, at a 15-minute drive from Amiens and its wonderful Cathedral and canals. Main Commonwealth memorials are within a 15/20-minute drive (Australian, British, Irish memorials in particular). Contay is a small village standing on its own in the countryside. Therefore, many walks, horse rides and bike rides can be done in the surroundings. Guests will be welcomed and shown all the necessary information to enjoy a unique experience in a Château :)
