On September 9, 1772 the daughter of Denis Diderot (1713–1784) Marie-Angelique Diderot(1753–1824) married Abel Nicolas Francois Caroillon du Vandeul (1746–1813). Abel and Marie had 2 children: Anne Marie, who died at infancy, and Denis Simon (1775–1850), who was named after his grandfather. The Caroillon du Vandeul family operated the metal forge and stove for around 100 years. It closed in the mid-nineteenth century.[2]
The original Chateau d'Orquevaux was built in the early 1700s in the style of Louis XV. For his uncle Charles Denis (Albert) du Vandeul, Le Baron Jacques Le Vavasseur worked with the architect to design and build the present chateau as a hunting lodge including the Parc grounds, and outbuildings in the style of Napoleon III.

A safe place to explore, contemplate and share ideas. A place without judgement, where all artists are free of explaining themselves. We aim to empower the creative spirit in its many forms, which in the process, has created a vibrant artistic community. The Chateau d'Orquevaux Artist Residency emphasizes the human experience and the creative process. The residency creates an environment for the artist in their quest for personal growth and artistic expression, while reinforcing that the end product is not necessarily the principal focus. Life is a creative journey and we consider every moment a part of the process.”
