Free visit of the exterior and the troglodyte chapel.
17 i 18 septiembre 2022Passed

Domain that has been in the same family for 500 years. The Renaissance building was modified in the 18th century by Jean-Baptiste de Rochambeau, the future Marshal of France, who particularly distinguished himself during the War of Independence of the United States of America. We can now see the construction as it was designed at the time. The park follows the Loir and on the other side is bordered by the limestone hillside.
