Château de la Bouleaunière stands in Grez-sur-Loing (Seine-et-Marne), in the Île-de-France region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Standing apart from the hamlet of Hulay, south of Grez-sur-Loing, the château de la Bouleaunière owes its reputation less to its architecture than to a guest it once hosted: Honoré de Balzac stayed here around 1840, invited by his friend de Berny. It was within these walls that he wrote Ursule Mirouët, a novel set in nearby Nemours. The building is best seen from the D607 departmental road, in a secluded setting along the Loing valley.
