Lecture éditoriale
The record’s history is two sentences: the château acquired its present aspect in the eighteenth century, with works from 1761 to 1780 directed by Pradel. The 1947 classification names the façades, the cour d’honneur, the moats and the chapel; the 2022 listing adds the whole of the interiors, the great terrace with the vaulted passage joining it to the basement, and the coach-house and stables with their pédiluve. The terrace and the water around the house are what the record gives of the grounds.
