Everything You Expect and Don’t Expect from a Castle!
An authentic 12th century castle meets the remote work revolution to create a vibrant home for location-independent professionals & travel lovers! Located in the heart of Normandy, easily accessible from Paris and the UK, Château Coliving gives you the space and quietness to concentrate on your projects, without missing out on social life and fun activities!
At Chateau Coliving you’ll find the easy going and friendly atmosphere of a coliving, in the lush aristocratic setting of a castle!
The property
The Castle & Manor have a history as rich as its surroundings: once home to one of Louis XIV’s warriors and graced with a chapel designed by Mansart, it now blends heritage with modern comfort.
Colivers can choose from elegant double bedrooms, cozy attic rooms, or family (and pet!)-friendly apartments with private kitchens, while shared spaces include a fireside lounge, a grand dining hall, and a fully equipped workspace with call rooms and fast Wi-Fi.
Beyond the walls, 80 hectares of parkland, rivers, and wildlife set the stage for walks, campfires, and community barbecues, while inside, a gym, games, books, and karaoke keep energy high. Whether you come to focus, to connect, or simply to experience life in a French château, this is a place where history, nature, and community meet, and in winter, it even becomes its own island (true story).
The Community
Come for the castle, stay for the community! Life at Château Coliving is all about connection. You’ll share daily moments with an international mix of remote workers, digital nomads, and entrepreneurs.
Swap stories over long dinners, gather around a campfire under the stars, collaborate in the coworking space, start a kitchen dance party, give hugs and smiles, and feel the magic as strangers become family.
The community is open, supportive, and co-created: people come to focus on their projects while also contributing to the shared experience through activities, trips, skill-shares, or simply holding space for others, while facilitators guide the group.
Colivers arrive and leave together on the same day. This is a unique take, and we believe it makes the community at Château Coliving truly special.

Each season brings its own kind of community magic.
Spring and Summer welcome our Signature Coliving stays: 27 nights of connection, co-work, and fun.
October hosts special events: “The Discovery Week” a unique chance to experience Château Coliving for 12 nights, & “The Women Coliving Camp”, in partnership with the Digital Nomad Girls community for the 3rd edition!

Come for the castle-Stay for the community.
The hosts were really wonderful, the room I stayed in (Burgas) is out of a dream and the chateau and the grounds make you feel like you’re living out of time (but with wifi in every room).
I’m already thinking about my return trip later this year.
