Lecture éditoriale
The record dates château, chapel and orangery to the second half of the eighteenth century, 1773–1776. The 1971 classification names, alongside the façades and the decorated ground-floor rooms, the parterres in front of the château. The 1990 listing takes in the medieval remains — a casemate with its Romanesque vestige and the south wall forming a terrace — and the park proper with its pleasure pavilion symmetrical to the chapel, the riding-school and stud, the laundry and wash-house, the icehouse, the dovecote-bakehouse, the porter’s lodge and the gates of Laval and Bel Air, and the two masonry bridges of the domain.
Recommandation
Two protections, two gardens: the formal parterres before the house, and the landscape park with its follies behind.
