La Cornue range sizes run from the 23.6-inch Château 60 up to the 70.9-inch Grand Palais 180, with two CornuFé ranges in between at 35.4 and 43 inches. According to the model pages on our site, the Château family comes in six widths (60, 75, 90, 120, 150 and 165), the Grand Palais is the 180, and the CornuFé family has two models, the 90 Albertine and the 110. This guide puts every size in one table, with the ovens each one carries, so you can see the whole lineup before you read the pair-by-pair comparisons.
What sizes does La Cornue make?
Two families cover the lineup, and they are sized differently. The Château is the made-to-order flagship with a vaulted oven (the voûte), and the Grand Palais 180 is the largest made-to-order vaulted-oven range. The CornuFé is the factory-built pro-style family with convection ovens. Our model-name decoder explains that Château names are the width in cm, so a Château 90 is 90 cm, which our model page lists as 35.4 inches. That is why the numbers in the table do not round to the inch figures a US shopper might expect.
US shoppers often search for a 36-inch or 48-inch range. The nearest La Cornue sizes are the 35.4-inch Château 90 and CornuFé 90 Albertine, and the 47.2-inch Château 120, but they are not the same as a standard 36 or 48. Do not plan a cutout from a rounded number; confirm the exact dimensions and clearances in the installation drawing for your model. Our model names and SKUs guide shows how to read the names.
What ovens and fuels come with each size?
Château ranges on our site are made to order, and the fuels listed vary by size: the 60 in gas or induction, the 75 and 90 in gas, dual-fuel or induction, the 120 and 150 in dual-fuel or induction and the 165 in dual-fuel only. The Grand Palais 180 is listed as dual-fuel. The CornuFé models are listed as dual-fuel or induction. The smaller Château 60, 75 and 90 each carry a single vaulted oven; the 120 and 150 carry two, one gas and one electric; and the 165 pairs a grand gas oven with an electric vaulted oven and two drawers. The Grand Palais 180 lists two grand vaulted ovens, a gas oven of about 3.1 cubic feet and an electric oven of about 2.7 cubic feet.
On the CornuFé side, the 90 Albertine has one multifunction convection oven with seven modes plus a storage drawer, and the 110 has two electric convection ovens. Both list five gas burners or a five-zone induction top. Front burners on the CornuFé and Grand Palais pages are about 17,000 BTU and rear burners about 7,500 BTU on natural gas, with LP conversion available. Induction zones are listed at 2,100 watts each, or 3,700 watts with boost. Compare the families in Château versus CornuFé.
Which two sizes are people usually choosing between?
Most buyers narrow the lineup to two neighbors. We already have pair-by-pair guides for each step in the ladder: Château 75 versus 90, 90 versus 120, 120 versus 150, 150 versus 165 and 165 versus Grand Palais 180. For the CornuFé, see CornuFé 90 versus 110. The big decision inside that ladder is one oven or two. Our 90 versus 120 guide describes it as the move from a single-oven range to a true dual-oven, dual-fuel suite.
What should you measure before you pick a size?
Width is only the start. Measure the wall space, the aisle in front of the range, the depth of the opening, the clearance to combustible surfaces and the route the crated range must travel to reach the kitchen. Hand-built ranges are heavy, and the larger sizes need substantial wall space and a floor that can carry the weight. Our installation requirements guide covers footprint, flooring, gas, electrical and ventilation, and notes that the hood should be at least as wide as the range. The leveling and anti-tip guide covers securing a heavy range.
Gas and induction work is for licensed professionals. Gas and dual-fuel models need a properly sized gas line, and induction and dual-fuel models need a dedicated electrical circuit of the right size, so plan both trades before delivery. If you have a gas smell at any point, do not light anything and leave the building; call your gas utility or 911 from outside.
How do you read the size on the rating plate or order sheet?
Start with the family and the width in the name. Then look at the configuration code, which describes the rangetop layout: our decoder lists C-series for the 90, E-series for the 120, K-series for the 150, L-series for the 165 and N-series for the Grand Palais 180, with an I suffix typically indicating induction. US SKU prefixes, listed in the decoder guide, help service centers identify the exact unit. When you order parts or call for service, quote the full name and SKU. Our La Cornue range repair page explains how a visit works.
