VILLEPREVOST CASTLE
Set in a beautiful French-style park, this th century beauceronne mansion evokes the Chauffeurs drivers'band which fought in the aftermath of the Revolution by committing terrible atrocities in Beauce. In 1798, many of these arrested bandits were driven to the domain of Villeprévost. This is where Armand François Fougeron, a peace judge of Orgères and owner of the estate, heard them. Some were guillotined or imprisoned. The park, the cellars, the large lounge, the chapel and the colombier visit. In the latter: the heads of the bandits's band Bandits in plaster moulding remind us of this sad period. In the park, the horizontal solar dial on the base built by Dr. Lescarbeau, an astronomy enthusiast, deserves a detour. The latter would have discovered the planet Vulcain.
