The Chateau de Russas, former property of the Counts of Laurière, whose origins date back to the 16th century, was rebuilt in 1840, during the Louis Philippe period, in its current form of a central building flanked by a pavilion on each side, typical of Neo-Louis XIV style architecture. The chateau faces south on a majestic forecourt comprising two flights of stone steps facing a magnificent 3.5-hectare pond lined with large trees. The property is accessed via a beautiful avenue of century-old lime trees. A majestic Sequoia over 40 meters high testifies to the property's antiquity.

Martine Anjorand and Alain Marzat are two Paris-based stylists and designers who have enjoyed successful careers in France and internationally for over forty years. Since 2010, the couple has somewhat abandoned fashion to focus on art and design through their Parisian gallery "La Cour" in the 2nd arrondissement. Today, they are devoting themselves to their new project of reviving the Château de Russas and its outbuildings

The Russas estate, near the picturesque village of Saint Adjutory and Chasseneuil-sur-Bonnieure in Charente, has been owned by the Counts Bousquet du Pasquet de Laurière since the 16th century. Over time, the property was divided up, but today, the noble part remains, including the early 19th-century Louis Philippe-style chateau, a large pond of over 3 hectares facing the chateau, and over 15 hectares of meadows and woods. The surrounding countryside is very green and hilly, with numerous forests bordered by small agricultural fields and grassy groves for cattle breeding. The location is close to points of interest such as the medieval town of La Rochefoucauld and its famous Renaissance chateau, the tourist attractions of the Haute Charente lakes, and the city of Angoulême. The La Preze International Golf Course in Rouzede is 19 km from the château. In the heart of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, between Angoumois and Périgord, let yourself be surprised and charmed by this corner of the Charente, its tranquility and gentle way of life.
