Château Dranem stands in Ris-Orangis (Essonne), in the Île-de-France region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château de Dranem, also called château de Ris, stands in Ris-Orangis in the Essonne department, a short distance south-east of Paris. First recorded in 1159 and rebuilt during the reign of Louis XV, it took its current name from the singer Dranem, who bought it in 1911 to house a retirement home for artists. The building now operates as a care facility and is not open to the public as a heritage site.
