La Chaumière des Coquillages in the English garden, houses a small salon entirely covered from floor to ceiling in seashells.
Around 1775, Louis-Jean-Marie de Bourbon, Duc de Penthièvre, had the curious Chaumière des Coquillages built. Located in the English garden, not far from a river, the building was designed to impress his daughter-in-law, the widowed Princesse de Lamballe. A real curiosity on the estate, it is surprisingly refined inside. In the small salon, walls and ceiling are entirely covered with seashells. In the next room, the woodwork is painted in the Pompeian style. Superb!

Il faut vraiment visiter cet endroit. Très original, que des coquillages sur les murs intérieurs.

Une très belle visite à effectuer, la chaumière seul est vraiment pas grande et rapide à voir, mais l'intérieur est tellement magnifique que ca vaut le détour.
De plus, l'emplacement en plein milieu du parc de cette jolie chaumière, permets d'effectuer une petite balade
Je recommande

Indeed, the cottage is now open to the public. This small construction, called " fabrique" is typical of its time; the work of decoration, only made with shells and mother-of-pearl some, is exceptional. I advise you to take a ticket semi-detached castle; you will receive a guided visiteeeeee (new rooms were opened to public) and the entrance with the two factories (dairy and cottage with shellfish).
If you have the time, I advise you to visit the Groussay a few miles (Montfort the amaury) whose park contains some very interesting factories.

The cottage is open to the public. And it is a delight, the number of visitors is very limited given the shortness of the place but it is beautiful. I your do not say: see for yourself!
