LE CHÂTEAU
LIFESTYLE La Cornue ranges have always represented a celebration of all that is glorious about France and the French culinary tradition. They exhibit timeless style and summon an expression of truly refined taste. Your taste. Your style. La Cornue ranges are as unique as each owner, and therefore, we believe, something quite extraordinary. Our ranges are cherished by our clients as a commissioned piece of art.

COULEUR COULEUR “The best colour in the whole world is one that looks best on you” COCO CHANEL One of the most striking and appealing aspects of the Château Series is the ability to apply any color your heart may desire to your range. The notion of a custom-color option for a range was unheard-of prior to the early 1960s.

CARACTÉRISTIQUES LE CHÂTEAU CARACTÉRISTIQUES “Every now and then a man’s mind is stretched by a new idea or sensation, and never shrinks back to its former dimensions.” OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, JR. Each Château range and cooktop is made by hand in the La Cornue atelier in France. Each piece is a unique custom creation, built with a specific owner in mind.
The Grand Palais 180 is the crown jewel of the Château Series, commanding respect and admiration in any kitchen. Almost 6 feet in length, the range boasts one grand vaulted gas oven and one grand vaulted electric oven, set beneath one of seven rangetop configurations. LE CHÂTEAU 120 The Château 120 range embodies an impressive cooking capability in a deceptively small package.

FIN There is a wonderful story told at La Cornue: In 1995, an older woman stepped into one of our shops and purchased a range. It was a small Château, with just one oven. As she stood to leave, she quietly said: “I’ve been dreaming about that for 30 years.” Stories like this one are not unique. They are the common place. They are the fulfillment of a lifelong culinary journey to attain the very best. The La Cornue lifestyle is one and the same with the country from which it was born.
