At the end of tree-lined driveway, where you would expect a stone farmhouse or Provencal mansion, you find

a spectacular chateau holding court over a French garden. The construction of the building dates back to the 18th century, around 1750. The estate, however, appears to be older. In 1307, the order of the Knights Templar passed

it on to that of Saint John of Jerusalem. It, in turn, belonged to the clergy and nobility before it became

national property in the revolution.

 

From 1865 to 1923, the Leclerc de Juigne de Lassigny family took over ownership.

Subsequently it was the Viscount of Rohan Chabot, colonel of the cavalry and husband of Marie d'Agay,

who took charge. The Château is more than an architectural genre, it reflects an elegant French lifestyle.
