Since 2017

A home for their programmes

The current owners of the château, the writer Sergey Kuznetsov and his wife, the psychologist Ekaterina Kadieva, have for many years run educational programmes in Russian and English. The best known is “Marabout”, for Russian-speaking children all over the world.

In 2017 they bought Château Le Sallay so that their programmes would have a home of their own. But not only that: since they arrived, the château has hosted more than 20 weddings, dozens of seminars and many other events.
