Description

The Château de Cirey is a château in Cirey-sur-Blaise, Haute-Marne, France (not to be confused with Bellevaux Abbey in Haute-Saône, sometimes also referred to as the chateau of Cirey-lès-Bellevaux). The château was the home of Émilie du Châtelet and her lover Voltaire from 1734 to 1749.
