The moats and park of Château du Pailly
Built between 1563 and 1570 by Gaspard de Saulx-Tavannes, companion in arms of François I, the Renaissance château of Le Pailly rose from a medieval castle of the plain whose moat still frames its lawns.

Editorial reading
The record presents Le Pailly as a witness of the Burgundian and Champenois Renaissance, raised on an older lowland castle with a massive oblong keep of the early fourteenth century and a trapezoid of curtains and lodgings flanked by round towers. Sold as national property at the Revolution, it remained private until 1936 and was given to the State in 1963; it was classified in 1921. The record says nothing of the grounds. The lawn and moat of the park are documented only by the photograph.
