Ainay-le-Vieil tells the story of the history of France, as its history shows that from time immemorial, the château or the family have been close to power and have participated in events that have shaped French history. Whether it's battles like Bouvines, the 100 Years' War, the century of Louis XIV, the drama of the French Revolution, the Napoleonic epic or, more recently, the wars of the 20th century, Ainay tells the story of France within its walls and in its family memories: Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Queen Marie-Antoinette, Emperor Napoleon I and General Auguste de Colbert.
