History: Charles de Cervon, companion of Henri IV protects his castle by wide moat and an impressive keep; On the return of peace he draws a park in the fashion of the time.
You will discover the Renaissance gardens, natural setting of the longère, barns, and factories built over the centuries. You will stroll in the bouquuetier garden, its boxwood embroidery and its flower beds in the colors of the four seasons, along the canals, shaded paths, you will explore the banks of the pond, the labyrinth island, the rose garden and the secret corners of the park.
You will be accompanied in your exploration by the songs of the birds, the murmur of the water, the breath of the wind in the trees.
