Chateau de Mairy, also known as Chateau de Jaques, is a 'Monument Historique' set on 30 acres of grounds with its own private lake and a pigeonnerie tower which also serves as a chapel.
James II stayed regularly in the Chateau during his exile in France.
It was owned by the Loisson de Guinaumont since it was built in 1676 and was owned by the Count of Guinaumont until 2004 when he died aged 98.
It is now used as a period guest house and hosts travelers, biking groups and charming events such as weddings.
