Le Pressoir

Tucked away among verdant meadows and captivating forests, a secluded treasure emerges: The Pressoir of Château de la Bourlie. Located beside a serene, untamed stream, this historic mill radiates with exceptional charm and offers a unique ambiance. Covering 450 square meters, The Pressoir provides a tranquil oasis, encouraging guests to unwind and escape the everyday bustle. With four suites and two additional rooms, it comfortably houses up to 12 guests, making it an ideal retreat for both intimate and group gatherings.

The transformation of Le Pressoir is part of an ambitious vision led by Cyril de Commarque, who was raised at Château de la Bourlie, and his wife, Ortensia Visconti. This project, profoundly personal and rooted in family heritage, seeks to rejuvenate and elevate the historic estate. Driven by thoughtful reflection on the estate’s relevance in the modern era, they reached an inspiring philosophy: “We love to dream with people.” After five years of meticulous restoration, the castle and its outbuildings now welcome guests for seasonal retreats, embodying a commitment to blending with nature, celebrating history, and embracing art. Art, in particular, is pivotal in the Château’s experience. To underscore this, a boutique art and music festival is set for 2024, leading to a grander collaboration in 2025 with a renowned contemporary art museum and a curator from Printemps de Bourges. These gatherings are poised to offer unparalleled moments of cultural immersion.
