    The Château de Meslay is an elegant residence located in Meslay, in the Loir-et-Cher region, approximately 5 km from Vendôme, France. It is a historic monument built in 1732 by the architect Jules Michel Hardouin, nephew of the famous Hardouin-Mansart. It was built on the site of an earlier fortified castle that had hosted Henry IV in 1589.

    This château is unique because it has remained in the same family for 11 generations. The current owners, the Boisfleury family, worked to have it listed as a Historic Monument in 2016 and to open it to the public in 2019.
