A 18th-century mansion in the town of Bouges-le-Château, France, the Château de Bouges is a classified monument historique and has gardens listed by the Ministry of Culture as among the Notable Gardens of France. Visitors are welcomed to explore its rich history. The château was most likely built by Ange-Jacques Gabriel in 1765, on lands acquired by Charles-François Leblanc de Manarval, the master of the royal forges and the director of the royal manufacturer of cloth in Châteauroux.

The château was modelled after the Petit Trianon at the Palace of Versailles. In 1818, it became the property of Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, the former foreign minister of Napoleon Bonaparte. He gave it to his niece Dorothée de Courlande, who held the titles of Comtesse Edmond de Périgord, Duchesse de Dino, Duchesse de Talleyrand, and finally Duchesse de Sagan, concurrently over a long period. The château later passed hands, being owned by Tunisian general Mahmoud Benaiad before being acquired by Henry Viguier and Renée Normant.

Viguier was the président-directeur-général of the Paris department store Bazar de l'Hôtel de Ville. The château and gardens were location scenes in the film Le Colonel Chabert. The château has a park of eighty hectares, which include a landscape garden, an arboretum, a floral garden created in 1920, large greenhouses, and a formal French garden. It also includes large stables which were later used as garages by the last owners. Viguier and Normant left the château and its furniture to the French state in 1968.
