The terrace before Château de Peyraux
First mentioned in 1328, Peyraux at Le Lardin-Saint-Lazare is ringed by outbuildings that served as its enceinte; the western wall holds up the terrace facing the château.

Editorial reading
The record describes outbuildings that form the enclosure and seem to have had a military rather than agricultural purpose, a rectangular gatehouse over the southern porch, vaulted cellars that were guard rooms more than cellars, and a round tower that binds these buildings to the western enclosure wall, which retains the terrace facing the château. The date 1688 is cut on the lintel of a byre door. The château was listed in 1948 and the outbuildings in 1974. The terrace is the garden element the record gives.
