Renaissance château with Florentine-style sculptures, fireplaces, reception room, Aubusson tapestries.

This château, one of the jewels of the Renaissance, can be discovered at the bend of a forest path. Abandoned and looted in the 19th century, it was acquired by the French government in 1939, and underwent a lengthy restoration program managed by Monuments nationaux. Built by a relative of François I, it is adorned with Florentine-style sculptures of salamanders, royal faces and musicians. The interior features monumental fireplaces and a splendid reception room (labors of Hercules). The2nd floor features a remarkable timber frame. It is fully furnished and features Aubusson tapestries.

Très beau château, visite très intéressante et pleine de petits détails historique. N'hésitez pas à flâner dans les jardins et à pousser jusqu'au pigeonnier.

Château très bien entretenu. De majestueuses cheminées agrémentent les pièces et la charpente en forme de bateau renversé est magnifique.
N'hésitez pas à vous rendre au pigeonnier
