The Clod Tilly is an elegant castle of the Age of the Enlightenment, richly furnished(filled) and surrounded with French-style gardens. He is built in 1754 for the abbot Terray, called to become one of the most powerful Secretaries of Louis XV. In 1910, the count of Rohan Chabot attempts to return to the house and to the domain their splendour of former days. Her daughter, the marchioness of Gauze restores with relish a furniture and an interior design who establish(constitute) an invitation to dream about the XVIIIth century. The castle is the main decoration(set) of the movie of Milos Forman, Valmont, inspired by work of Choderlos de Laclos, dangerous Connections.
