Description

The Château de Saint-Maurice-de-Rémens dates from the 18th century; it is located in Saint-Maurice-de-Rémens (Ain), 50 km north-east of Lyon and 35 km south-east of Bourg-en-Bresse. It is sometimes nicknamed the "château of the Little Prince" or, familiarly, the "château de Saint-Ex" because of the link that ties the building to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Indeed, the author lived on this family property for a large part of his childhood.
