Castle classified as a historical monument, with a visit to the museum, the botanical garden, the Masonic temple and wine tasting.

A superb Louis XV residence, this listed château was built in 1736 by the architect Le Herissey. Jean-Jacques Rousseau stayed here, and it is to him that we owe the inspiration for today's botanical garden, which boasts over a thousand plant varieties. Another writer to have left her mark on the place is Florence Mothe, who owns the estate and has chosen to open it to the public. A rarity? Its 1738 Masonic temple, complete with period ritual equipment. The guided tour concludes with a tasting of the estate's wines.

Faire payer 10e et indiquer auparavant que c’est accessible à tous, dont les PMR est un scandale alors que rien n’est accessible en fauteuil roulant.
Jardin laissé à l’abandon en supplément.
Le vin est buvable contrairement à la propriétaire qui est imbuvable…

Das Anwesen ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber sehr authentisch, mit eigenem Charme. Die Besitzerin, die die Führung durch ihr Haus persönlich macht und viel zu erzählen weiß, ist eine ältere Dame mit adeliger Vergangenheit und sie kennenzulernen alleine schon den Besuch wert. Wer alte Sachen oder Geschichten über die Freimaurer nicht mag, sollte sich den Besuch jedoch sparen und eines der vielen anderen Chateaus ansehen.

Extrêmement déçue par la dernière exposition. Mais où est Van Gogh ???

Une plongée dans la grande et la petite Histoire. Un lieu magique et hors du temps. Un accueil des plus agréables
