Domaine George Sand

Book George Sand's domain, a house of the Illustrious in the heart of Berry

From a medieval fort château to a creative haven

Former fortress of the lords of Nohant since the 13th century, the George Sand estate, nestled in the south of Berry, has known many faces through its owners. Bought in the middle of the 18th century by the Count of Serennes, the château lost its ramparts and gradually became a pleasure estate in the purest classical style.

After being imprisoned during the Terror, Marie-Aurore Dupin de Francueil, natural daughter of Marshal Maurice de Saxe and granddaughter of August II, King of Poland, bought the property and had it surrounded by a vast park.

It is this haven of peace that she bequeathed to her granddaughter Aurore Dupin, future George Sand. Here, the 19th century writer came to draw inspiration. She transformed venues into a true cultural center and welcomed some of her most illustrious friends: Franz Liszt, Frédéric Chopin and Honoré de Balzac.
