One place, a thousand atmospheres

The Château de Beauchamp is an exceptional location for film, television, advertising and photography. An eclectic Second Empire style, faithfully restored 19th-century interiors, 27 hectares of grounds: a rare visual diversity.

Period films, contemporary scenes, fashion editorials, advertising campaigns, product or portrait shoots — every image finds its frame here.

Why Beauchamp

Four reasons to film here

01

A unique architecture

Rebuilt in 1867, the château offers four façades in distinct styles — Renaissance, neo-Gothic, turrets, balustraded balconies. Each angle tells a different story.

02

Period interiors

Second Empire salons restored faithfully to the original décor: wood panelling, crystal chandeliers, damask fabrics, herringbone parquet, 19th-century marble. A faithful set, ready to film.

03

Natural light

South-facing façade, tall windows and large volumes: light pours in everywhere. Golden sunsets, morning mists, frosty winters — different lighting at every hour.

04

Calm & privacy

Twenty-seven secluded hectares in the heart of the Perche in the Sarthe. No noise, no overlooking. Your teams work in complete peace.
