ROSE CASTLE

The castle of Rosières dates from the beginning of the th century and was built in a marsh area, which undoubtedly gave the name of Rosières, that is, reeds, less poetic than the hypothesis of a rose, but ceases to dream, especially since the most famous owners of Rosières were undoubtedly Charles Perrault, the author of the tales. Here, Red Hood point, but a stone building with its moat, its bridge. He was also general controller of the buildings and gardens of Le Roy, and brother of Claude, the architect author of the colonnade of the Louvre facing Auxerre. The transformation of the entrance pavilion rests with him. When you know that it was also the meeting of literary fairs, with the visit of La Fontaine or Fontenelle, you can only remain dreamer in front of the gardens. The building is remarkably preserved.
