Château Le Sallay The Owners
The current owners of the castle, the writer Sergey Kuznetsov and the psychologist Ekaterina Kadieva, have been organizing various educational programs in Russian and English for many years. The best known of these is the “Marabou smart summer camp” for Russian-speaking children from all over the world. In 2017, they bought the Château Le Sallay to provide their educational programmes with a home – and also to do much more. Since moving in, over twenty weddings, workshops, seminars and various other events have taken place in the castle. And, of course, the hotel always welcomes individual guests!
