Château de la Groirie is a 17th-century estate nestled in the Sarthe department of Maine, situated on the road between Le Mans and Laval. Established by the La Rivière family and developed as a pleasure home during the 17th and 18th centuries, it ranks among the most beautiful castles in the Sarthe region. The property occupies a 100-hectare park and features luxury accommodations with 14 tastefully appointed rooms inspired by historical engravings. The château remains a private venue reserved for receptions and seminars throughout the year, opening to visitors only during Journées du Patrimoine celebrations.
