Lecture éditoriale
The record describes a main block with a perpendicular north wing remodelled in the nineteenth century, interiors that keep most of their original decoration, and in the wing the old chai, the sharecroppers’ house, the stable and rooms turned into a museum. The 2003 listing opens with the parc d’agrément and the jardin du château before naming the house, the wing of dependencies and the former pigsty. The garden is thus at the head of the monument; the record does not describe its planting.
