Lecture éditoriale
The keep was begun in 1355 and finished in time for Charles V to be received there by its builder, Nicolas de Braque; it keeps four bartizans of the fourteenth century. A stone-and-brick pavilion was added to its west in the seventeenth century, and the monumental stairs of the south front date from 1782, by the architect Viel. The domain was broken up after 1826. Among the buildings listed in 1928 is the Pavillon du Jardinier, the gardener’s lodge, alongside the pavilions of Antin, of the Intendance and of the Salamander, now the town hall. The 1969 listing covers the keep with the walls, parapets and mounds of the moats and the platform with its two access bridges.
Recommandation
The keep stands in water; walk the platform and its two bridges to see how the pavilions were composed around it.
