C. Besnouin

In an English-style park surrounded by a 400-hectare forest, the Bourg-Saint-Léonard Castle offers its neoclassical architecture to this magnificent green setting.
The art of living in the 18th century: Luxury and pleasure
A feast in honor of Marie Antoinette, the welcome of the poet Florian, the social life of the Cromot was very open. Public rooms to receive, with the dining room, living rooms, furniture that lends itself to conversation.
The Age of Lights
Baron Jules-David de Cromot built this castle in the 18th century. Typical example of a courtesan’s castle in the province, it is the perfect offshoot of the Enlightenment: architecture, furniture.
From beauty to the comfort of Louis XV and Louis XVI furniture and other accessories and art objects...
Converse in the queen’s armchairs, cool your bottles in the cooler, play tric-trac, doze off in the shepherdesses... In pleasant rooms with wall tapestries.
