A
fortress in the days of the Wisigoths and the great invasions,
priory at the turning point of the year thousand, burnt down at
the time of the Wars of Religion, the present castle goes back to
1663.
In the style of the Louis XIII period, and registered in the survey
of Historical Monuments, it is surrounded by a formal garden
and a romantic park, displaying the charms of a residence that the
same family has lived in since 1732.
During the visit, you will see beautiful pieces of furniture, printings
and valuables, like the very interesting collection of 500 engravings
recalling Henry IV, or a complete wardrobe of men's costumes from
the 18th century, etc… It is a lovely walk through the time
and history of South West France, with the evocation of the Age
of Enlightenment or the Napoleonic Empire. |
