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.

Nous n’avons pas eu le temps de le visiter, je pense pour une prochaine fois, j’espère qu’à l’intérieur il y a de quoi voir mais c’est toujours un plaisir de visiter la France. Nous avons de la chance d’être dans un si beau pays.
