Altered in Renaissance, it keeps(preserves) its character of atypical fortress by its polygonal shape which is reflected in the water of the wide staves(moats) which surround it. The domain stayed the property of the family of Montesquieu during almost 900 years up to the death of the countess de Chabannes in 2004\. Visit allows to discover the house of the philosopher Montesquieu certain rooms(parts,plays) of which stayed furnished(filled) and decorated.
