Château de Carron stands in Porte-de-Savoie (Savoie), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de Carron stands at Francin, in the commune of Porte-de-Savoie, a former hunting lodge built at the end of the 18th century. The house has remained in the hands of the same family since the early 19th century, descendants of an Empire general who fought at Aboukir, Austerlitz and Wagram. Visitors can see a romantic park and a French formal garden, in a setting that has kept its private character.
