Château de Bellevue stands in Glaire (Ardennes), in the Grand Est region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The château de Bellevue stands on a hillside at Glaire, on the outskirts of the Fresnois district near Sedan. Built in the mid nineteenth century to designs by architect Jacques Alexandre Titeux, it owes its renown to a single historic moment: it was here that Napoleon III put his signature to the surrender document following defeat by Prussian forces, on 2 September 1870. The building is not open to the public and can only be viewed from the road running alongside the Meuse.

What to know

The interior of the château cannot be visited.
The building can only be glimpsed from the road that runs alongside the Meuse between Glaire and Donchery.
The site lies roughly two kilometres from the centre of Sedan.
There is no visitor facility, signage or reception on site.
A visit is therefore limited to viewing the exterior from a distance, without access to the immediate grounds.
