## What the sources establish The tourist office dates the château's architecture to the seventeenth century and describes it as a private residence still used by descendants of the Maytie family. It records protected timberwork, furnished rooms and rare books. In addition to its historic-monument categories, the entry explicitly gives “Park” as the kind of park and guided tours as the visiting format. ## Our reading We suggest reading the outdoor setting in relation to a continuing private household. A park can frame the approach and mediate between residence and town without being a separately documented formal garden. The source checked does not identify a landscape designer, a garden creation date or a botanical collection. These omissions should guide the questions asked during a visit, rather than be filled with assumptions based on the house's architectural style. ## Before visiting Confirm the current guided circuit and whether the park is included. The fact that furnished rooms are open on a visitor route does not imply access to every domestic or outdoor space. Ask the operator which features of the grounds have a documented history, and distinguish those explanations from a personal response to the present setting.
