Discover the château grounds
The family has lived here since 1467. Memorabilia of Colbert, Marie-Antoinette and Napoleon can be seen, as well as superb, majestic salons.
In the landscaped park with its century-old trees surrounding the medieval château , the Renaissance water gardens take us on a veritable walk through the art of gardening: the rose garden of old roses opposite the two Pavilions, the Carré en l'île with its palisade-trimmed hornbeams and the Chartreuses with a themed garden in each enclosure:
mixed-border, sculpted orchard, meditation garden, simple cloister and embroidery beds.
The main feature of this unique site is theomnipresence of water. Defensive when it surrounds the château, it becomes a source of pleasure when it flows around the gardens, forming the Grand Carré of the island, thanks to a judicious network of canals. Useful when, thanks to the interplay of shovels and weirs, it feeds the mill and the washhouse.
