Chateau de Clinzeau is an ideal location for photographers seeking a blend of historical charm and breathtaking natural surroundings. Completely renovated in 2021, this 19th-century castle is nestled in the heart of the Morvan Natural Park in Burgundy, an area known for its untouched nature, rolling hills, dense forests, and pristine lakes.
The chateau itself is a photographer’s dream, with its beautifully restored interiors including a grand spiral staircase, tastefully decorated rooms, and elegant common areas such as a library, lounge with a fireplace, and a bar. The estate covers 25 hectares, offering endless opportunities for outdoor shoots amidst ancient trees, serene lakes, and picturesque landscapes.
The grounds provide versatile backdrops, from the sprawling forests to the calm waters of the lake, perfect for shooting during golden hour or under the night sky, free from light pollution. Photographers can capture the beauty of nature, historic architecture, and the tranquil atmosphere of the private estate, making it an inspiring setting for portraits, fashion, and artistic nude photography.
Stay for 3 nights in a private double-bed bedroom with a private bathroom in the beautifully restored chateau.
