François-Auguste Magon de La Lande's residence features a central rotunda and large fireplaces.
Built in 1710 by the shipowner François-Auguste Magon de La Lande, the Chipaudière still belongs to the Magon family. The house is distinguished by its central rotunda and its large chimneys. The interior is remarkable with the wrought iron staircase, the carved Dutch oak woodwork in the dining room and the Jouy paintings in the small salon. The walk in the French gardens and on the three terraces make this visit charming.

Le propriétaire a retracé l'histoire familiale et des lieux de façon très intéressante. Très agréable visite. A faire.

If you speak any other language, other than French, avoid this place. We didn't expect the host to relay everything back to us in English, but an acknowledgement or very brief introduction with a small bit of information, would have gone a long way to make our visit much more pleasurable. Even if there were laminated handouts, that could be handed out for us to read while she was addressing her French visitors, which could be handed back for other future visitors to use, would have been good. Instead we stood around, waiting for what seemed like an interminably long time in the hallway, waiting for the host to finish talking before moving on to the next room, and, my gosh, could she talk. You only had a glimpse of some of the downstairs rooms. No kitchen, just some reception rooms, that could do with a damn good clean. The gardens needed work and the pond could have been mistaken for a well mowed lawn had there not been a boat resting on it, it was green with algae. I'm sure that, what the host was talking about, was very interesting to those who could understand, but for our visit, it was a disappointment. Had we known that we wouldn't get any commentary, we wouldn't have booked. The leaflet that we picked up was written in French on one side and the other side was English, which led us to believe that we'd be included. Avoid if you can't speak the language.

Le bâtiment très bien même s'il est un peu défraîchi.
À l'intérieur, on trouve beaucoup de tableaux, de meubles et d'objets de décoration du XVI au XVIIIeme siècle : des ensemble en porcelaine, des tapisseries, une cuirasse, une robe indienne... Des traces de l'âge d'or des armateurs de Saint Malo. Le guide s'appuie sur ces objets pour rendre sa visite vivante et nous favoriser l'immersion des visiteurs dans l'ambiance du lieu.
Les jardins sont également bien aménagés.
J'ai effectué cette visite avec un groupe qui composé en partie de personnes à mobilité réduite. La grande majorité de la visite était adaptée grâce à une rampe mobile pour les fauteuils roulants. Il y a une vraie volonté de favoriser l'inclusion des personnes en situation de handicap.
