A medieval manor house where the Mona Lisa and many other paintings from the Louvre were stored from 1942 to 1945

It is here that the Mona Lisa and many other paintings from the Louvre were stored from 1942 to 1945. Perched on a wooded knoll, it looks like a medieval manor house. Inside, the courtyard reveals the true nature of the building and the imprint of Jeanne de Balzac, who had the castle built in 1523. To see: the French gardens, the huge fireplaces, and the monumental staircase without equivalent in France. The castle, sold in pieces to museums all over the world, has been restored thanks to the will of a patron, Mr. Fenaille.

Château visité le 03 février, en tout petit comité, nous étions seuls ???????? c’était super, car nous avons pu bénéficier du guide et prendre des photos. Merci a notre guide pour ses explications très intéressantes. Le château extérieur est tres beau, ses pierres sont claires en bon état. L’intérieur est magnifique, avec du mobilier d’époque en très bon état de conservation. De magnifiques tapisseries. J’ai beaucoup aimé les différents sols (tomettes, damiers, pierre, «carrelage)) a l’intérieur du château. Le grand escalier central en pierre de carrenac est magnifique, avec ses larges marges dont les aces arrières sont sculptées. Et les fenêtres ornées de lucarnes sont très belles.
Les explications du guide étaient très intéressantes : merci.
Un très beau château.
